With the back-to-back wins, the Marlies finished the four-game season series against the Checkers with a 3-1-0 record and extended their winning streak to six games.
First Period
There were only three shots officially recorded by the Marlies during the opening 20 minutes; whoever tracks that statistic in Charlotte seemed rather selective, but the Marlies didn’t hit the net often enough in the opening frame.
Kasperi Kapanen almost scored from a similar position to his goal Friday night, but Alex Nedeljkovic got a piece of his glove to the shot just 45 seconds in.
