The penalty kill was tough tonight. I think grabbing a point is something to be proud of. We need to be better. I think up and down the lineup, everyone has more, but it's also a results business, and three [points] out of four is pretty dang good.
Sometimes, during a season, you earn a point and move on. The Toronto Marlies will happily do so after getting vastly outplayed by the Checkers on Sunday. By forcing overtime despite trailing by two in the third period, Toronto has lost just once in regulation through 10 games.
The Marlies killed off the first of Braeden Kressler's double penalties but did not survive the second. Veteran Trevor Carrick found the far corner of the net with a shot through traffic.
Blandisi did not dwell on his misfortune and struck inside the final three minutes to tie the game at 1-1.
