Three of those losses have been handed to them by the Rochester Americans at the Blue Cross Arena. Rochester had allowed 18 goals in four straight defeats coming into this Wednesday night tilt, yet Toronto made their hosts look like world beaters at times.

The opening stages were promising for the Marlies as Kerby Rychel and Andrew Campbell both fully tested Amerks goaltender Linus Ullmark.
The way Toronto handed the Amerks the game opening goal inside five minutes was unforgivable. Justin Holl was carrying the puck out of his zone and saw his pass easily intercepted by Nick Baptiste just outside of the Marlies blue line.
