X-Marlies first team to clinch the AHL playoffs

The Marlies clinch their playoff spot while losing, and win one while shorthanded. Just a typical weekend of 3-in-3 AHL hockey.

On Friday, the Marlies hosted Lehigh Valley, and trailed in that game deep into the third period, 2-0.

Sam Carrick got things going with a power play goal, and Brendan Leipsic tied it up with two and a half minutes to play.

Colin Smith got the overtime winner, and T.J. Brennan, Leipsic and Tobias Lindberg all had two-point nights.

Josh Leivo and Frederik Gauthier were held out of Friday's game in case the injury-plagued Leafs needed them Saturday.
