The Toronto Marlies lost their first game in weeks to the Texas Stars on Sunday, allowing them to tie up the series at one game each before it heads south to Austin.
Saturday’s game had a rocky start and wild action, with a third period comeback by the Marlies for a 6-5 victory. By comparison, Sunday’s game appeared more sedate as the two teams had obviously learned a lot from their first encounter and were better prepared to play each other.
The lines were again unchanged. There were some brief changes to defensive pairs as on Saturday, but for the most part, Marlies Coach Sheldon Keefe held things the same.
