November 11: WBS Penguins vs. Toronto Marlies
For the last couple of seasons, the regular season matchups between the WBS Penguins and the Toronto Marlies have been matchups of the best teams in the league. Last year’s meeting in the WB began with WBS taking a 3-0 lead after 40 minutes, only to concede three shorthanded goals within about six minutes of the third period, then lose in a shootout. This year’s regular season matchup in the WB didn’t go nearly as well for the home team.
Expected #WBSPens Lines:
Guentzel-Rowney-Kostopoulos
Wilson-Porter-Simon
DiPauli-Sundqvist-Archibald
Gill-Dea-Gardiner— Mike O'Brien (@MikeOBrienWBS) November 11, 2016The game started out well enough, with an early power play to WBS leading to a 3-1 shot advantage, but once Toronto killed the advantage, they proceeded to take total control of the game and spoil Thomas DiPauli’s season debut.
