It’s a simple mantra that the Toronto Marlies failed to heed as a mistake-laden performance allowed Utica to stay alive in the series with a 5-2 victory in Game 3 on Wednesday night.
First Round
The majority of the damage was done in the first period as, after scoring the 1-0 goal on the power play, Utica took advantage of a couple of boneheaded mistakes from the Marlies.
The first five minutes were relatively even and played at a good pace and intensity before the officials called Colin Greening for interference after allowing seemingly worse infringements to pass.
