There will be a seventh and decisive game in the Calder Cup Finals.
On Tuesday night, the Toronto Marlies missed a chance to clinch the AHL championship on home ice, falling 5-2 to the Texas Stars. Despite dominating the first period, a frustrated Toronto squad had trouble getting the puck past Stars goaltender Mike McKenna.
Conversely, at the other end of the ice, Garret Sparks had a subpar outing, and was eventually pulled in the third period in favour of Calvin Pickard.
McKenna was full measure for his 43-save effort in being named the game’s first star.
