Vinni Lettieri opened the scoring 3:10 into the match, scoring his ninth goal of the season. Former Wolf Pack forward Bo Groulx made a pass from the left wing to Lettieri on the right wing. Lettieri hit a quick shot from an acute angle that broke the ice, making it 1-0 for the Marlies.
The Marlies extended the lead to 2-0 at 9:30 AM. Logan Shaw sent a pass to the front of the crease where Cédric Paré was stationed. Paré tipped Callum Tung’s pass for his sixth goal of the season.
The goal, which came on the first power play of the game, gave the Marlies at least one power play goal in six consecutive games.
The Wolf Pack got on the board late in the period when the puck went to Brendan Brisson in the right circle. Dylan Roobroeck’s shot hit a body and bounced straight at Brisson. His quick release beat Ken Appleby’s glove, making it 2-1 at 5:47 p.m.
The goal was Brisson’s eleventh of the season and extended his points streak to four games. Trey Fix-Wolansky picked up the secondary assist, which also extended his point streak to four games.
Two goals in 19 seconds from the Marlies early in the second period stunned the crowd and increased the lead to 4-1.
First, Tung left the puck behind the net and handed possession to Matthew Barbolini. Barbolini collected the puck, drifted to the right side and put the puck into the empty net at 2:24 to make it a 3-1 game.
Tung was removed at that time for Dylan Garand. He made three saves on six shots in 22:24.
19 seconds later, Ryan Tverberg wrapped the puck around him and tucked it into Garand’s right pad to make it 4-1. The goal, scored at 2:43, was Tverberg’s fifth of the season.
Appleby made 10 saves in the third period to preserve the victory for the visitors.
