Marlies and Monsters Meet for Second Straight Matchup
November 25, 2018 - American Hockey League (AHL)
Toronto Marlies News Release
Game Preview
The Toronto Marlies (7-7-1-2) will look to build on a 6-5 overtime victory in Cleveland on Friday night when they face off against the Monsters (9-7-2-0) this evening at Coca-Cola Coliseum.
It's the second of three straight games between the Marlies and Monsters, who will face each other eight times this season following Cleveland's move to the North Division over the summer.
Mason Marchment was the overtime hero Friday night, marking two consecutive games that Toronto and Cleveland have needed extra time to settle things. Marchment and Carl Grundstrom each scored twice in Friday's game and will look to bring that scoring touch into Sunday.
Through three games in the season series against Cleveland, Grundstrom leads the Marlies with 6 points (2G, 4A) and is averaging a point-per-game with seven goals and 15 points.
Marchment has 4 points (2G, 2A) against Cleveland so far as do Andreas Borgman and Adam Brooks, who each have a goal and three assists.
Chris Mueller's 16 points (8G, 8A) have him tied for the points lead for the Marlies so far this season alongside Calle Rosen (2G, 14A).
For Cleveland, Zac Dalpe had been leading the charge up front as he has 21 points (12G, 9A) on the season, including 8 (5G, 3A) against the Marlies.
The Marlies enter play having won two consecutive games in overtime and know that a strong start will be a major key for finding success again on Sunday. They are a perfect 4-0-0-0 when leading after the first period, and have only won once when trailing after the first (1-6-1-2).
Sunday's game will be Hockey Fights Cancer Night for the Toronto Marlies, where the team will honour all those who have fought, are currently fighting or have been affected by cancer.
Puck drop is scheduled for 4:00 PM and tickets are still available.
Fans can also catch the action on Leafs Nation Network and AHLTV.
