The Marlies are now 5-15-2 since December 8 and are on the outside of the playoff picture.
First Period
Toronto started on the front foot, drawing the game’s first penalty just over two minutes into the opening frame. While they weren’t able to capitalize with the extra man, the Marlies make good on their dominant start just a few minutes later.
Egor Korshkov drove down the right-wing and faked going around the net, confusing Joey Daccord between the pipes before the big Russian forward tucked it home from behind the net.
An inability to hold onto leads has been one of many downfalls for the Marlies during this miserable stretch, so it wasn’t shocking to see Toronto give up the tying goal just two minutes later.
