The Marlies hosted the Utica, affiliates of the Vancouver Canucks, at Ricoh Coliseum for a rare Tuesday night game.
In the first period the Comets controlled the play for most of the first 15 minutes, but the Marlies showed some push-back in the second half. Both teams showed some good play in what was a tightly contested period, and both had some chances for which the goalies had to make some good saves. All in all it was a good and tight first period.
The second period was one where both teams had some good looks, and both goalies had to be sharp to keep the game close.
