Toronto Marlies hold serve at home, even series against Syracuse Crunch

With the series now tied at two apiece and the momentum swinging in their favour, the Marlies will look to gain a stranglehold on the series on Saturday in Syracuse.

First Period

After an evenly-played start to the game, Syracuse benefited from a slice of luck just before the five-minute mark. A bouncing puck in the slot hit Seth Griffith in the skate and fell kindly for Adam Erne, who netted his second goal of the playoffs.

The Marlies came up with the perfect response just 66 seconds later. A strong forecheck from Kerby Rychel and Rich Clune recovered possession before Clune looked for Brett Findlay in front.
