The Marlies responded by producing something pretty close to a complete 60-minute performance to close out the weekend sweep against the league-leading Charlotte Checkers with a 5-0 victory.
“The guys were consistent throughout and once again found a way to get a good start, score the first goal, and not look back from there,” said Keefe. “Really good way for us to finish off the weekend.”
Toronto has now won five straight road games, outscoring the opposition 25-7 in the process.
First Period
Having been lit up by the Checkers in his second-from-last appearance, Kasimir Kaskisuo had a point to prove in this start and came up with a pair of confidence-boosting saves inside the opening 20 seconds.
