The Marlies had their four-game winning streak snapped but did pick up a point in the process to give them 15 points out of a possible 18 over their last nine games.
First Period
After a few scary moments in their own zone to begin the game, Toronto took control early and netted inside three minutes. A long outlet pass from Tony Cameranesi allowed Eric Faille to race away down the right wing. Recognizing that Albany goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood was overcommitted, Faille circled around the net and scored on his wraparound attempt.
The Marlies powerplay went to work shortly after but was unable to double the lead despite sustained possession in the offensive zone.
