Boat Show Road Trip Rolls Through San Antonio

January 12, 2020 - American Hockey League (AHL)
Toronto Marlies News Release

The annual Boat Show road trip rolls on through San Antonio today as the Marlies close out the weekend with a 4:00 PM EST tilt against the Rampage.

Toronto will be looking to turn things around today and climb out of a three-game slump, while the Rampage will also be looking to get back in the win column today after back to back losses to the Chicago Wolves. This is the third meeting between these two teams and the Marlies lead the series 2-0 after picking up a pair of wins when San Antonio visited Toronto in December.

Following yesterday's loss to Texas, head coach Greg Moore expressed that he wants to see more from the Marlies' power play, commenting "there are still times where we're a little slow." He went on to say, "we give the PK time to get comfortable. We need to find a way to be more of a threat and get more interior looks. It's definitely an area we've got to be better at power plays, got to execute and find ways to have more of an impact on the hockey game and find a way to be a little more dynamic." The Marlies (22%) and Rampage (23.7%) both sit in the top five across the league in the power play department, and with both teams looking to get off the schneid, it will be interesting to see how they match up in special teams situations today.

Timothy Liljegren looks to keep his point streak alive today after picking up the lone assist on Clune's first period goal last night. He has seven points (1 goal, 6 assists) in six consecutive games. Puck drops at 4PM EST on AHLTV. Fans can also follow along on Twitter for live game updates.
