The Marlies road trip came to a close in Rochester, and with it the goalie experimenting out of sight of the main phalanx of the Toronto media.
The Marlies haven’t beaten the Amerks yet this year in two previous games, and they chose Karri Ramo to start in this third try at it after two rough outings of his own as a Marlie. Backing him up was Garret Sparks.
Todd Crocker had the rest of the lines as usual:
Lines vs Rochester
Lindberg Froese Smith
Rychel Cliche Clune
Johnsson Gauthier Kapanen
Greening Laich Maggio
Pairings vs Amerks
Valiev Holl
Nielsen Campbell
Dermott Loov
With Brendan Leipsic still hurt, the Marlies got Frederik Gauthier back from injury, and he had the very effective, yet point-challenged Andreas Johnsson with him as well as usual winger Kasperi Kapanen.
