Toronto goaltender Calvin Pickard stopped all 23 shots he saw as the league leading Toronto Marlies secured their eighth straight win via a 3-0 shutout over the Binghamton Devils in front of a sellout crowd on Saturday at Floyd L. Maines Veterans Memorial Arena. It was Pickard’s first shutout of the season as he came on strong towards the end with the BDevils’ pressure at it’s peak.
Mackenzie Blackwood (5-12-4-1, 3.64 GAA 0.870 SV%) took the loss despite playing in his second straight game for Binghamton, as he gave up all three goals in the first 17:10 of the opening period, equaling his total on Friday’s contest in Springfield to within ten seconds.
