Toronto Marlies News Release


The Toronto Marlies (24-16-3-3) and Belleville Senators (20-23-2-3) meet tonight for their eighth meeting of the season and third meeting at Coca-Cola Coliseum.

Coming into tonight's game, the Senators will be looking to get back in the win column after dropping six of their previous 10 contests including consecutive shootout losses in their last three. On the flip side the Marlies seem to have hit their stride, picking up wins in their previous three games. They'll be looking to even up the Battle of Ontario series and make it four-straight tonight. The Marlies currently sit third (54 points) in a tight North Division playoff race, while the Senators are eighth with 45 points.

Players to watch: With four points in his last three games, Chris Mueller continues to lead the Marlies and sits fourth amongst AHL skaters with 45 points. After recording two assists on Saturday, Calle Rosen now has 29 assists on the season which tops all AHL defencemen. The Marlies will have a couple new faces in the lineup tonight with the addition of defenceman Martin Marincin, loaned from the Maple Leafs, and forward Tanner MacMaster, acquired via trade with Utica in exchange for Stefan LeBlanc.

Puck drops at 7:00 PM on Leafs Nation Network and AHLTV. Fans can follow us on Twitter and Instagram for behind-the-scenes action from Coca-Cola Coliseum.
