Marlies Host Phantoms to Close out 3-In-3
January 5, 2020 - American Hockey League (AHL)
Toronto Marlies News Release
The Toronto Marlies close out a 3-in-3 weekend today as they host the Lehigh Valley Phantoms for their final home game before the annual Toronto Boat Show road trip.
The Marlies cracked a three-game losing skid yesterday with a convincing 5-2 win over the visiting Rochester Americans. Kalle Kossila potted two goals in yesterday's win, including the game winner at 11:24 of the third period. Kossila also had the primary assist on Korshkov's third period goal. It was his eighth career three-point game. Kossila has five points (3 goals, 2 assists) in seven games this season.
The Lehigh Valley Phantoms have struggled lately with only two wins in their past 10 contests. They'll be looking to snap a six-game losing streak today as they also close out a 3-in-3 weekend. The Phantoms dropped a 5-3 decision to Belleville yesterday, and were blanked 4-0 by Laval on Friday night.
This is the first of two meetings between these two teams this season. The Phantoms swept the two-game series last season, but are 4-2-1-1 against the Marlies over the past five years.
Puck drops at 4:00 PM on Leafs Nation Network. Fans across Canada can also stream today's game live in the Maple Leafs App.
