Recap: Lehigh Valley Phantoms 4 @ Toronto Marlies 1
The little Toronto Marlies are in a state of flux right now. There are injuries (Gauthier, Lindberg, Dermott), there are NHL veterans in the room (Michalek, Laich), ‘could be in the NHL’ players (Leipsic, Rychel), and AHL rookies (Timashov, Nielsen) all filling the room around the players who were the regulars for the 15-16 Marlies (Kapanen, Clune, Campbell).
Last year’s runaway freight train team has seen a lot of passengers move up to the Toronto Maple Leafs, and at the end of November the team sits third in the North Division, with a 10-5-1-1 record, and have been an average 4-4-1-1 in their past 10 games.
