The Toronto Marlies won their season opener against the Utica Comets with the help of a strong power play and great goaltending from Garrett Sparks.
Saturday’s game was the team’s season opener, and the first of a back-to-back match-up against the Comets, whom are the affiliate of the Vancouver Canucks.
I am not going to focus too much on a recap of the game events here. The Marlies won, and it wasn’t too hard for them.
Four of their five goals were on the power play against Comets’ goalie Richard Bachman. He is a 29-year-old veteran of the AHL who has moved around a lot in recent years.
