“Our start, our ability to bend but not break, our goaltending was outstanding, and we scored timely goals.”
– John Gruden on the keys to a 4-0 victory over Utica
Secondary scoring was the theme of this 4-0 victory for the Toronto Marlies as the fourth line established a healthy lead that would put the Utica Comets on the backfoot inside 13 minutes.
First Period
A 25-save shutout for Dennis Hildeby doesn’t sound like a stressful evening necessarily, but the goaltender needed to work hard early in this game to keep Utica at bay, beginning at the four-minute mark.
