Any word on why no Misyul? Possible call-up?

If it was today, he will either be a Comet tomorrow afternoon or on his way to greener pastures and an NHL lineup.

Has a terrible + - and has been a penalty machine. My guess, rotating him out for one game.

Really he’s been that bad? Has he not been on the top pairing with Desimone?

I find him being rotated out for whoever Van dee Leest is to be pretty unlikely with them missing players but I haven’t been following much.

Toronto playing their 3rd game in 3 days.

After 10 minutes the SOG are 8-6 Marlies.

Marlie chances far outweigh the Comets, but Utica has had a couple chances in close while missing the net quite a few times already most notably Wendt from about 5 feet just off the left post rifled it wide to the opposite post.

Comets to the PP as Stillman is hooked from behind.

1 good chance and since cleared all the way down 3 straight times.
4 times.
5 times
6 times and it's over.
Terrible effort!

Toronto is turning this period around with real good opportunities they are blowing.

Marlies keeper Artur Akhtyamov is 2-0 with a 1.50 GAA and .955 Save%.

He makes a good stop and down the ice go the Marlies and score on a beautiful passing play.

Now Artur stones Stillman who is slashed on his effort.

Comets to PP #2.
Comets on the perimeter and missing the net when they do attempt a shot
Marlies control the puck in the Comets end on their PK.

Time runs out on period 1.
Marlies lead it 1-0
SOG 13-9 for the Marlies.

This is game #5 for the Marlies and they are 100% on their PK thus far and that number continues after killing 2 more today. 18 for 18 thus far.
