Their tenth win of the season propelled the Marlies back to the top of the North Division standings and kept their perfect record on home ice intact (6-0-0).
First Period
Toronto got off to a good start inside the opening minute before they should have fallen behind with 90 seconds on the clock. Joel L’Esperance missed the empty net on a 2-on-0 and then narrowly failed to score on a second attempt.
The Stars then struck first on the game’s first power play, where the impressive Michael Mersch swept home the rebound after Michael Hutchinson stopped an initial shot by Emil Djuse.
