It’s back to the three-in-three format this weekend with a visit to Utica and Rochester before returning home to face the Amerks again at Ricoh Coliseum.
It’s possible that the Marlies could officially clinch a playoff berth this weekend with a specific set of results going their way while taking care of their own business at hand. With the magic number down to eight, it’s only a matter of time before that formality is realized.
The Marlies will be without all of William Nylander, Kasperi Kapanen, Nikita Soshnikov, Zach Hyman and recent emergency recall Brendan Leipsic.
