hThe Toronto Marlies beat the Laval Rocket 4-1 in their final game at the Air Canada Centre this season.
It was the 72nd victory in Garret Sparks’ career, meaning he has the most wins in franchise history, passing Justin Pogge — who he met and skated with for the first time this summer — for sole possession of first on the list. “It means I’ve been here a long time,” said Sparks after the game before repeating the organizational mantra that “Wins are a team stat”.
Sparks mentioned that he had a moment in one of the halls of the ACC two seasons ago when he was the goaltender for the Toronto Maple Leafs, and that he had another one again today before the game.
