After having to dress James Martin as a forward Friday night, Tylor Spink was signed to an ATO and went straight into the lineup. The former graduate of Colgate University isn’t a total unknown, with Sheldon Keefe having coached against him when the right winger played for the Cornwall Colts.
Despite the depleted-looking lineup, the Marlies will feel they should have taken a least a point from a game in which they held the lead on three occasions. It proved to be a tale of special teams, turnovers and little help in front for Antoine Bibeau as the visiting Providence Bruins showcased their offensive abilities.
