The road trip may have ended on a sour note, but Toronto went 5-1 during their travels, and also surpassed 30 victories and the 150 goals for the season.
The shootout victory in Utica means the Marlies remain undefeated in the four times the skills competition has been required.
A franchise record was also set: Seven consecutive victories eclipsed the previous best of six, which had been achieved on three previous occasions.
Specials teams again weren’t at their best this week. The powerplay converted at just 11% on 18 opportunities. The IceCaps seemingly have Toronto’s number in this department, and that ended up proving the difference in the second game.
