The Marlies returned to action Friday night for their first home game since January 12. Coming off a shootout win over the Belleville Senators before the All-Star break, the Marlies were looking to start the month off on the right foot and make it two in a row.
The Marlies peppered Rocket goaltender Charlie Lindgren with 36 shots throughout regulation but could not find the back of the net. It would take overtime to solve tonight’s contest, and an early penalty in extra time lead to a 4-on-3 for the Marlies. At 2:09 of the overtime frame, Trevor Moore sent a cross-crease pass right on the tape of Chris Mueller who banged home the overtime winner. Calle Rosen picked up the secondary assist on Mueller’s game winning goal.
Michael Hutchinson turned away all 15 shots he faced to earn the shutout.
