After defeating Rochester and St. John’s, tougher opposition was next on the agenda in the form of the Syracuse Crunch and Utica Comets. Four points from a possible six ensured Toronto’s record rose above .500 for the first time since a week before Christmas.
The Marlies now occupy fourth place in the North Division, three points up on fifth-placed Utica, who have a game in hand. They are the same distance back from St. John’s in third but have two games in hand on the IceCaps.
Special teams played a huge part in the Marlies success this past week.
