Toronto Marlies News Release


The Marlies have a tough battle ahead today as they get set to host the north division leading Rochester Americans. The Marlies are fresh off a tough 8-2 loss to the Syracuse Crunch, and will be looking to rebound and crack a three-game losing skid in a quick turnaround today.

This is the third meeting between these division rivals. In their last meeting, the Americans evened up the season series, blanking the Marlies 4-0 in Rochester. The Americans have been red hot and are coming off a 4-3 win over Belleville last night. With six wins in their past 10 games, the Marlies will have their work cut out for them against a tough Rochester team.

The Marlies will be looking to regroup in their last weekend at home before heading out on their annual boat show road trip. The Marlies have struggled to find a groove lately with only three wins in their past 10 games. They'll have home ice on their side today, which has been an advantage for the Marlies this season as they're 12-5-0-0 when playing in Toronto.

This is the first of four Next Gen games for the Marlies, with a special bobblehead giveaway for fans attending today. The Next Gen games tell the story of our future players, fans and game changers.The first 3,000 fans through the gates will receive a limited-edition Andreas Johnsson bobblehead.
