Toronto Marlies Week in Review: December 14 – 22
The Toronto Marlies won just a single game for the third consecutive week.
December has not been kind to the Marlies, who have now lost six of their last nine. Toronto’s most recent win did keep them above .500 for the time being, however, as they head into the Christmas break with a 13-12-1-1 record.
The Marlies penalty kill was vastly improved this week, allowing just one goal on 13 times shorthanded, and the PK proved vital in Sunday’s win. The powerplay continues to roll, currently ranked sixth-best in the AHL at 24.2%.
The Marlies were outscored 8-3 at even strength over the three games, however, and collected two of a possible six points.
