"Given the circumstances of this game, I'd venture that this was the Playing a third road game in the space of 66 hours against the team with the stingiest defense in the Eastern Conference was always going to be a tall task.

The goal didn't go to the legs of the Bruins; instead, it spurred the The fourth line generated four high-danger chances, and the third line chipped in with a Grade-A chance for Matthew Barbolini, as only Michael DiPietro stood between the Marlies on.

The Toronto Marlies pushed the Bruins to overtime but lost 4-3 despite sustained offensive pressure. The game occurred during a stretch of three road games in 66 hours against a stingy Eastern Conference defense. An early turnover and a missed slot assignment produced the opening goal for the Bruins. Toronto responded with a goal by Vinni Lettieri and generated multiple high-danger chances from its fourth and third lines. A lengthy power-play sequence, including a 5-on-3, failed to convert and disrupted momentum. The Marlies earned one point while identifying areas to improve on special teams and defensive execution.
