The Toronto Marlies defeated the AHL Penguins Saturday in the first of two back-to-back weekend games at Coca-Cola Coliseum. It was a nice win for the Marlies who were down 2-0 in the first period and then quickly bounced back and got in the game, finishing the first period up 3-2, and winning the game 7-4.
The defence pairings were shuffled later in the game after Timothy Liljegren was injured and did not later return. I have more about that incident below.
The Penguins have two familiar names on their roster. The first is Tim Erixon, the ‘other’ guy in the Phil Kessel trade.
