Marlies Host Duel with Devils
November 17, 2018 - American Hockey League (AHL)
Toronto Marlies News Release
Game Preview
The Toronto Marlies (5-6-1-2) are hitting home ice Saturday night after a lengthy five-game road trip over the past two weeks. Over the trip, the Marlies earned point in three games, going 1-2-1-1 in that time.
Celebrating Complete Country Night, Saturday's matchup marks the first trip to Toronto for the visiting Binghamton Devils this season. The Devils come into play after dropping a 5-2 decision in Syracuse on Wednesday.
Chris Mueller had a pair of goals plus an assist last night and enters Saturday's game with points in six straight. He leads the Marlies in scoring with 16 points (8G, 8A) on the season. Sam Gagner, who's second in scoring, picked up a pair of assists last night to improve his points total to 14 (6G, 8A) through 14 games.
Rookie Marian Studenic is leading the way for the Devils offensively with 11 points (7G, 4A) on the year while Nick Lappin has lit the lamp the most for Binghamton with eight goals and 10 points.
Special teams could be an important story tonight as Binghamton have struggled on both the power play (10.06%) and penalty kill (74.0%). The Marlies power play (20.0%) will look to take advantage of that while the penalty kill will look to improve on its 75.4% success rate.
Puck drop for tonight's game is scheduled for 7:00 and limited tickets are still available. Fans can catch all the action on Leafs Nation Network and AHLTV.
