It was an evening of celebration at Coca-Cola Coliseum as the Marlies won their first game of the 2021-22 season in front of a home crowd.
The Marlies had a solid start, applying pressure early in the first. Brett Seney finally broke through for the home side to give the Marlies a 1-0 lead heading into the first intermission.
Josh Ho-Sang made his presence known, scoring two goals in the second period to extend the Marlies lead to two. The Marlies held the Moose to just one goal through two periods, and limited their chances offensively.
Halfway through the third frame, Joey Anderson showed off his skills with a highlight reel goal. Brett Seney found the back of an empty Moose net late in the third as well. The Moose piled on 19 shots in the third, but Erik Kallgren stood tall in the home net and turned aside 34 of the 35 shots he faced all game.
The Marlies will look to continue the momentum as they host the Moose in the second half of a back-to-back on Sunday.
