The Marlies had another tough loss on Saturday against the Rochester Americans (Buffalo Sabres affiliate). Losing another game is tough for the Marlies, as it’s the sixth loss in the past ten. While their stellar winning record which led them to the top of the AHL is deteriorating, they still are not in serious jeopardy of falling out of first place in their division. Other teams in the conference are on the way up, however, just as the regular season is winding down.
Saturday was the seventh of eight games the Marlies play against the Amerks this season.
