The Marlies found themselves back in the win column after a convincing 5-1 victory over the Belleville Senators.
Things started off close between the two teams, with both sides refusing to budge in the opening frame. Mac Hollowell got things started for the Marlies offensively, scoring his first of the season just under halfway through the second period. Josh Ho-Sang added another for the visitors before the frame was over. The Senators managed to get one back before the intermission, but the Marlies held onto a 2-1 lead after 40 minutes of play.
In the third period, Brennan Menell scored his first of the season early in the frame, but Belleville responded with another just over a minute later, to once again pull within one. But it was all Toronto after that. Josh Ho-Sang tallied his second of the night, and just 11 seconds later, Joey Anderson found the back of the net, to give the Marlies a 5-2 lead. That score would stand as final.
It’s a quick turnaround for these two teams, as they meet once again on Saturday afternoon back in Toronto at Coca-Cola Coliseum for a 4:00 pm puck drop.
