Marlies Fall To Cleveland In First Half Of Back-To-Back

The Toronto Marlies opened up the weekend with a loss to the Cleveland Monsters on Friday night.

The game started off well, with chances for both teams throughout the opening frame. It was Cleveland who broke through first, with goals from Brett Gallant and Tyler Sikura in the first period. Joey Anderson was able to find the back of the net for the Marlies on the power-play halfway through the second period. But, that would be all for the Marlies offensively.

The Monsters went on to add three goals in the final frame, thanks to Liam Foudy, Jake Christiansen, and Trey Fix-Wolansky. The Marlies are now 4-4-1-1 against North Division opponents and 1-1-1-0 against the Cleveland Monsters.

The two teams meet again on Saturday afternoon in Toronto at 4:00pm.
