Playing their third game in less than 72 hours, mental mistakes and a lost special-teams bottle cost them at least a point in a 3-2 loss to the Abbotsford Canucks on Sunday.First Period
The Marlies were flat in the opening period and a little fortunate to head into the first intermission at 0-0.They only threatened during the final seconds of the frame on a 5-on-3 power play, where Alex Steeves rang a one-time shot off the top of the crossbar and into the netting.
