The Marlies are now halfway through a six game homestand and are feeling good about themselves having won all three thus far.
Giving up just four goals in the process, the Marlies are beginning to turn Ricoh into a fortress with form resembling their impressive record away from Toronto. In a run stretching back to the turn of the year, Toronto are 9-0-1 at home and are looking to extend that streak despite a string of absences.
Brendan Leipsic, Mark Arcobello, Josh Leivo, Stuart Percy are still with the Leafs. Jeremy Morin also missed the midweek game, so we’ll no doubt see more of recent additions John Kurtz and Colin Smith.
