The Toronto Marlies suffered a tough loss at home Wednesday afternoon, dropping a 3-0 decision to the visiting Hershey Bears.
Three goals in the first period gave the Bears a cushion and the Marlies were unable to climb their way back from the deficit.
Jayson Megna opened the scoring early on with a strong individual. Megna skated through traffic from the defensive zone and beat Michael Hutchinson with a wrist shot that went top shelf over his catcher. The Bears then capitalized on a power play at 15:19 as Mike Sgarbossa fired a shot glove side from the hash marks that beat Hutchinson. 14 seconds later Brian Pinho made it 3-0 for the Bears. Kasimir Kaskisuo then entered the game to relieve Michael Hutchinson. The Marlies went 0/4 on the power play and put 17 shots on Ilya Samsonov.
