The Toronto Marlies‘ 5-0-0 run marks the best start in franchise history, with a chance to further extend the streak against a tired Cleveland team on Sunday (4 p.m. ET puck drop).
First Period
The scoreless first period was a tale of two halves, with the Marlies on top for the opening ten minutes.
Toronto could so easily have taken the lead just 70 seconds in — good work from Kenny Agostino and Tyler Gaudet won back possession before Jeremy Bracco’s excellent pass picked out Timothy Liljegren jumping into the play, but Monsters goaltender Veini Vehvilainen had other ideas, pulling off a great glove save.
