The Toronto Marlies found themselves back in the win column on Saturday evening after defeating the Lehigh Valley Phantoms 3-2 in overtime.
The Phantoms came out strong in the first. Morgan Frost opened the scoring early, while his teammate Isaac Ratcliffe followed his lead, scoring one of his own late in the frame to give the visitors a 2-0 lead heading into the break.
But, the Marlies would not surrender. Marc Michaelis found the back of the net, thanks to a great pass from Joseph Duszak to cut the lead to one after the first 40 minutes. Then in the third, captain Rich Clune scored his first of the season after he re-directed a shot from Josh Ho-Sang.
60 minutes was not enough to decide a winner, so overtime was needed. In the extra frame Ho-Sang scored a highlight reel goal with just 40 seconds left to secure the win in front of a home crowd. This was the Marlies first come-from-behind victory of the season.
The Marlies look to continue the momentum on Sunday when they host the Cleveland Monsters at 4:00pm.
