In previous Marlies seasons, a four-game winning streak was little more than a footnote. For this group under Moore, it represents their best stretch of hockey during his tenure and the longest winning streak of the season.
This win owed much to Toronto’s dominance in the special teams battle and an excellent performance between the pipes by Erik Källgren (save one bump in the road).
First Period
The Marlies got off to a promising start with plenty of possession time in the opening two minutes, but they failed to turn it into a scoring chance of note.
