The Marlies lost to the Devils 5-4 in overtime last night. That happened after being up 4-1. Yep. It happened. Here’s the gruesome details.
The first period was one in which the Marlies controlled and dominated every facet of the game. They were rewarded nicely with 3 goals. They outplayed the Devils, forcing them to make mistakes in the defensive zone. The Devils defenseman liked to pinch, and the Marlies seemed to exploit that, especially on the second goal.
