After Toronto coughed up a third-period lead and fell in regulation in a winnable and frustrating game, the playoff situation is complicated. Let me boil it down to the bare facts.
Only one playoff berth remains, and it’s a one-on-one fight between Rochester and Toronto.
Rochester has one game remaining against Utica on Friday.
If Rochester wins their final game, the Marlies will require four points from their three remaining games.
If Rochester takes a point, Toronto will need three points from their three remaining games.
If Rochester loses, Toronto only needs two points from their three remaining games.
