Less than 24 hours after prevailing in double overtime, the road team appeared to have recovered better from the previous night’s exertions, as the Marlies struck twice early and never looked back.
“This is a team win,” said Sheldon Keefe. “All of the players just bounced back the way that they did, and then the training staff and everybody that put the work in all year for these types of turnarounds and overtimes, and then just to take care of our guys the way that they did with the meals and training staff that took care of bumps and bruises… This is the time of year where all of that stuff comes to a head and it’s good to see that we passed the test.
