The Brampton Beast returned to the CAA Centre for the first time in 2019 to take on their division rivals, the Maine Mariners.
The game started with the Maine Mariners getting on the board first courtesy of Drew Melanson. The forward had a rebound kicked out to him and banged it home at 3:23 to give the visiting Mariners a 1-0 lead.
The Mariners struck again late in the period on the power play. With Brandon Marino sitting in the box, Jason Salvaggio sent the puck past Beast starter Ãtienne Marcoux for a 2-0 lead at 17:09.
Brampton retreated to their dressing room down 2-0 after 20 minutes of play and trailing in shots by a count of 21-7.
The second period was much more in favour of the Beast. With the Mariners in the penalty box, Matt Petgrave took a pass from Brandon Marino and fired an absolute bullet through Mariners netminder Hannu Toivonen. That made it a 2-1 game 4:18.

Brampton went to their dressing room after 40 minutes of play tied with Maine 2-2 but trailing in shots 31-16.
The third frame saw the Mariners take the lead on a breakaway goal from Morgan Adams-Moisan. The speedy forward made it 3-2 at 4:41.
The Beast still had some life in them and were able to tie it up late with a goal from Erik Bradford. The assistant captain finished a dominant shift with the game-tying goal at 17:47.
The third period finished tied up 3-3, so the game went to overtime. It was a dominant effort from the Beast, but the Mariners capitalized in overtime with a goal from Ty Ronning to seal the contest.
Marcoux was tagged with the loss and Toivonen got the win. The final shots on goal were 38-35 in favour of Brampton.
