The Toronto Marlies extended their winning streak to six games after defeating the Lehigh Valley Phantoms 4-3 in overtime on Sunday.
In the first period, Joey Anderson, making his return to the lineup, got the visitors on the board first with his 11th of the season. But the lead was short-lived, as Brennan Saulnier tied it up just 42 seconds later. But, Anderson added another before the first period came to an end, giving the Marlies a 2-1 lead after the first 20.
In the second, Wade Allison scored the only goal of the middle frame just 1:12 in. The game remained tied at two after the second frame. In the third, Alex Kile gave the Phantoms a 3-2 lead that they held until Brett Seney, also making his return to the Marlies lineup, tied the game at three with his 13th of the season. For the second straight game, 60 minutes was not enough so overtime was needed.
In the extra frame, Joey Anderson completed the hat trick and sent the Marlies home with a win after scoring his 13th of the season.
Brett Seney picked up four points in Sunday’s game, contributing to each of the Marlies four goals. Erik Källgren stood tall in the Marlies net, stopping 22 of the 25 shots he faced.
