The Toronto Marlies got themselves back in the win column on Monday night with a 4-3 OT victory over the Grand Rapids Griffins. The Marlies are now 4-1-0-0 against Central Division opponents and 1-0-0-0 against the Griffins.
The Marlies got off to a quick start, as Antti Suomela scored just 23 seconds into the first to get the visitors on the board. Later in the frame, Jared McIsaac tied it up, beating Erik Källgren.
In the second, both teams refused to budge, until Semyon Der-Arguchintsev managed to get one past former Marlies goalie Calvin Pickard with just 50 seconds left in the frame.
In the third, Dennis Yan tied the game at two just over halfway through the frame before Turner Elson gave the home side the lead later in the period. But, the Marlies never gave up. With the goalie pulled for an extra attacker Brett Seney scored his 13th of the season to tie the game at three with just under two minutes remaining.
In the extra frame, it was defenceman Joseph Duszak who sent the visitors home with a victory just 38 seconds into overtime. The Marlies next game is on Friday night in Belleville. Puck drop is at 7:00pm ET.
