The North Division Final between the Toronto Marlies and the Albany Devils has been trimmed to a one-game showdown.
On Saturday afternoon the Marlies came up flat in a 4-1 defeat to Albany in Game Six. Toronto went 0-for-5 on the power play to stifle their chance to eliminate the Devils. Meanwhile Albany goaltender Scott Wedgewood stopped all but one of the 35 shots directed his way.
William Nylander was held pointless for the fourth time in eight playoff games, and Marlies coach Sheldon Keefe called on the 20-year-old Leafs prospect to find an extra gear.
“We need (Nylander) to be a lot more competitive, with and without the puck,” Keefe said.
