Artur Akhtyamov turns aside 33 of 35 shots in Toronto Marlies' shootout loss to Bakersfield
Briefly

In a challenging final game of an 18-day road trip, the Toronto Marlies fought hard against the Bakersfield Condors but only managed to secure a single point. The team struggled for the first two periods, with poor offensive output and defensive mistakes leading to a deficit. However, they showed determination in the third period, nearly grabbing an extra point in overtime. Coach John Gruden and player Logan Shaw praised the team's effort, emphasizing resilience and the importance of recharging for future games.
It's been the same thing all year. The goalie played great, and then we just stuck with it. There is no quit in our room.
I thought the effort was great in the third period. We knew it was going to be a hard game. They've been waiting here for us.
Bakersfield made Toronto pay for their mistakes, and the Marlies couldn't capitalize on their scoring chances at the other end.
The Marlies were second-best for 40 minutes but showed resolve to fight back in the third period before almost stealing the extra point.
