The Toronto Marlies, down two games to nothing and missing Freddie Guthier to injury, needed a win last night. They got huge games from three young players: Andreas Johnsson who is 22, Kasperi Kapanen who is 20, and the newest Marlie, Carl Grundström, who is 19. Grundström has two goals and one assist in two games so far.
The game didn’t seem to be in the bag early, the Marlies were down by one goal after the first period and had turned a 2-2 comeback into a 3-2 score for the Crunch well into the third.
