The 4-3 win over Belleville on Sunday was the club’s 54th win of the season, tying the franchise mark set by the 2015-16 team. 112 points is two shy of the total set by the aforementioned team two years ago.
First Period
In what was a feisty game throughout, a clean hit from Andrew Nielsen drew the first penalty of the game two minutes in after Belleville took umbrage with the defenseman’s physical play.
The Marlies weren’t able to find the net, and as the penalty expired, were indebted to debutant goaltender Ian Scott for denying Daniel Ciampini on a partial breakaway down the right side.
