The Marlies got off to a perfect start and never looked back in what was as polished of a performance as could have been expected in their third game in as many days.
“Our defense core was great tonight,” said Greg Moore. “Really solid, really good gaps, played well from the middle of the rink. We didn’t give up a ton.”
First Period
Toronto’s best player of the weekend was instrumental in getting the Marlies off to a perfect start 49 seconds in.
Adam Brooks won an offensive zone faceoff before Marchment redirected a point shot by Teemu Kivihalme and finished it off with a deft chip after Keith Kinkaid made the initial save.
