The Toronto Marlies had a decisive victory against the Springfield Thunderbirds 4-2 Saturday evening. It was the first of two meetings between these teams in the season. The second will be Saturday next week when the Marlies go on a road trip through the AHL Atlantic Division.
Saturday was also Star Wars night at Coca-Cola Coliseum. My niece was in attendance, and was proud to meet colleagues from the Imperial Navy.
The obvious lineup change is that Rasmus Sandin is finally back!
