First up on Friday is a clash between the top two teams in the AHL as the second-place Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins visit Toronto.
Friday, February 19 — W-B/Scranton at Toronto, 7:00 pm EST
In their lone meeting so far this season, the Marlies won a memorable game they had no right winning. Being totally outplayed and trailing 3-0 early in the third period, a comeback looked incredibly unlikely. Cue Toronto scoring three shorthanded goals in a span of just 2:44, as Mark Arcobello, Nikita Soshnikov and Rich Clune all hit the twine. The Marlies took the victory in the shootout on Soshnikov’s lone strike.
