Pontus Aberg opened the scoring in the final minute of the first period after burying a rebound off a shot from Pierre Engvall. Timothy Liljegren picked up the secondary assist on the opening goal and the Marlies held a 1-0 lead heading into the first intermission.
Pierre Engvall scored the second goal of the game at 7:05 of the second period to give the Marlies a two-goal cushion. Nick Baptiste fired a shot from the point that came off the pads of Adam Carlson, and Engvall buried the rebound through the five-hole. Jordan Schmaltz had the secondary assist on the goal. Aberg struck again at 10:48 when Baptiste delivered a pass through the blue paint right on the tape of Aberg’s stick and he made no mistake beating Carlson for his second of the game. Engvall had the secondary assist on the goal. The Marlies lead 3-0 heading into the final frame.
Early in the third period, Egor Korshkov notched his third goal in consecutive games, capitalizing on a shorthanded breakaway to make it 4-0. The Marlies held their lead for the rest of the period for their third straight win.
With 23 saves on the night, Joseph Woll becomes the first rookie Marlies goaltender to post a shutout in his first start.
