A rookie forward, who has limited prospects of graduating to the Toronto Maple Leafs roster, has equalled Josh Leivo’s rookie goal scoring record for the Toronto Marlies.
Bobby McMann scored the 23rd goal of his rookie campaign at 19:32 in the second period. The goal gave the Toronto Maple Leafs affiliate a short-lived 3-2 lead, before the Belleville Senators turned the tables to take the game 4-3.
McMann now also shares the Marlies’ goal scoring lead with Joey Anderson, isn’t looking likely to ever find himself in the NHL though, despite all this.
In fact it’s fellow rookie Alex Steeves, sitting just one goal back that is the more likely to be a long-term graduate.
