With the win, the Toronto Marlies accumulated their 100th point of the season on the same evening the parent club passed the 100 mark.
First Period
The opening period wasn’t exactly high event as both teams mostly cancelled one another out. Just three shots were recorded through the opening seven minutes, with Toronto creating a couple of half chances through Adam Brooks and Chris Muller.
Jeremy Bracco was guilty of taking a careless slashing penalty at the 7:34 mark, leading to the game’s first goal. A shot from the right face-off dot by Sami Niku appeared to take a deflection on its way past Calvin Pickard.
