A seventh straight victory at the Ricoh puts the Marlies within two wins of making it to the Calder Cup Final for just the second time in franchise history.
First Period
In what was a great goaltending battle throughout, Alex Lyon posted 19 saves in a frantic first period.
The Marlies fired the first nine shots of the game, but the Marlies got caught with three forwards deep on a transition back the other way, allowing Lehigh to strike first on just their second shot almost eight minutes in.
Mark Friedman, the trailer on the play, beat Sparks with a low short short-side that the goaltender might want back, in retrospect.
