– Sheldon Keefe on goaltender Kasimir Kaskisuo, who recorded his first AHL playoff shutout that allowed Toronto to take a commanding 3-0 lead in the series
Challenged by Keefe to play a better brand of defensive hockey after giving up a host of scoring chances in Game 2, the Marlies responded with their best display without the puck in the playoffs to date with a 2-0 win in Game 3.
First Period
Granted, there were moments during the first period when the Marlies rode their luck somewhat. A turnover by Jeremy Bracco with just 2:30 played looked like it might prove costly as Kole Sherwood took a backdoor pass from Ryan MacInnis, but the Marlies snuffed out the opportunity.
