The Marlies started their Eastern Conference Finals series against the Lehigh Valley Phantoms with two games and two wins this weekend. It was a critical step to pocket the big series lead at home before the action shifts to Allentown, PA, the Philadelphia suburb where the Lehigh Valley Phantoms actually play, for the next three games.
The lines were unchanged in the two weekend games, and are still the same as two weeks ago when the Marlies defeated the Syracuse Crunch in the North Division Finals.
Don’t read too much in to the order of the lines here.
