Rasmus Sandin plays overtime hero as Toronto Marlies win in Laval

On this occasion, the Toronto Marlies were able to capitalize on their limited scoring chances to secure a vital two points in the playoff race.

First Period

The Marlies got off to the worst possible start, falling behind just 65 seconds in. Michael Hutchinson came out to play the puck but his intended ‘dump’ into the left corner went straight onto the stick of Daniel Audette, who teed up Lukas Vejdemo to score past the out-of-position goaltender.

There was almost a response at the three-minute mark from the Marlies, but Gabriel Gagne was unable to bury a rebound on two occasions after a shot from Rasmus Sandin resulted in a brief flurry in front of Charlie Lindgren.
