The Marlies played back-to-back games against the Manitoba Moose on Friday and Saturday, winning both. Friday’s victory was 5-2, and Saturday’s was 1-0.
The Marlies are on a hot streak, winning eleven of their past fifteen games. They now have 56 points, which good for third place in the AHL North Division standings. As a reminder, the top four in the division of seven teams move on to the playoffs. There is no wild card playoff berth. The wins were badly needed after a very poor showing in December where they lost nine of twelve games.
