Laval opened the scoring midway through the first period and peppered Marlies’ goaltender, Michael Hutchinson with 11 shots on goal in the opening frame.
Scott Pooley got the Marlies on the board at 3:03 of the second period to tie the score up 1-1. Pooley scored his first goal in his first game for the Marlies this season, wiring home a one-timer from the hashmarks from Tanner MacMaster and Ben Harpur. The score remained locked 1-1 after 40 minutes of play.
The Marlies saw their first power play opportunity at 7:25 of the third period, but were unable to capitalize on the man-advantage. 3-on-3 sudden death overtime would be necessary with the score still tied at the end of regulation.
Kenny Agostino provided the overtime heroics with only 25 seconds left in extra time to lift the Marlies to a 2-1 victory and extend their home win streak to seven straight.
