The Toronto Marlies fell 3-2 to the Utica Comets on Friday night. This was the fourth and final matchup between the two teams this season. The two teams split the season series, with two wins each.
In the first, Utica came on strong, but Toronto kept the pressure on and Curtis Douglas was rewarded as he found the back of the net for his eighth of the season.
In the second period, AJ Greer evened things up in the middle of the frame, before Joseph Duszak gave the visitors the lead again with his sixth of the season.
About a minute and a half into the third period, Nolan Foote got one past Joseph Woll to tie the game at two. Then, just over halfway through the frame, former Marlie Frederik Gauthier scored short-handed to give the Comets their first lead of the game. The Marlies had plenty of chances in the third, but were unable to break through.
