"Bolstered by reinforcements, the Toronto Marlies raced out to a 4-0 lead in the opening 40 minutes against Laval. Clinical finishing and excellent goaltending appeared to have secured the two points, but missed opportunities to pad the lead only fed the hopes of the Rocket, who almost pulled off a dramatic late comeback in this 4-3 Toronto win on Saturday."

"The game continued at a high pace at five-on-five, but neither team could exert sustained offensive pressure. Laval started to gain control of the game by feasting on some sloppy Toronto breakouts, but they couldn't make it count on the scoreboard."
