It was the Josh Leivo and Rob Madore answering the call as the standouts in what was a tough outing in Winnipeg.
The Manitoba Moose may have struggled this season, but they are on a good run of late, especially at home, and they set about the visiting Marlies with gusto in what was a fast start to the game.
It wasn’t a good start for Toronto, as new Marlie Jeremy Morin and Leivo failed to connect on what looked like a golden opportunity before Justin Johnson left the game with what looked to be an extremely serious left leg injury.
