The Marlies hit their low point on Wednesday, November 8 against the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. Garret Sparks stopped 38 of 41 shots and lost the game. Nikita Soshnikov and Dmytro Timashov scored the only two goals in the 4-2 loss where the Marlies managed only 24 shots on goal.
Toronto began the game with a good deal of promise, carrying on the form that had characterized the road trip by dominating the Penguins for the opening nine minutes. Perhaps it was the grind of the long road trip coming home to roost, but the Marlies hit a wall halfway through the first and never recovered.
