Both games went to shootouts, but they got there in completely different ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/index.php\/2024\/04\/10\/maple-leafs-goalie-choices-next-four-games\/\">Maple Leafs Goalie Choices Over the Next Four Games?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Marlies 2 &#8211; Syracuse Crunch 1 SO<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first game was a low-scoring affair with neither team being able to produce much offensively. The game went scoreless until Logan Shaw gave the Marlies a 1-0 lead at the 16-minute mark of the second period.\u00a0Alex Barre-Boulet tied the game at 15:10 of the third period, sending the game into overtime. While they did not get many scoring chances in the extra frame, the Marlies did control the puck for most of the five minutes. They seemed content to let the game go into a shootout.\u00a0It could be because Toronto has a miserable 3-10 record in overtime but a decent 4-2 record in shootouts.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"343\" height=\"206\" src=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Dennis-Hildeby.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1420\" style=\"width:553px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Dennis-Hildeby.jpg 343w, https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Dennis-Hildeby-300x180.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 343px) 100vw, 343px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Dennis Hildeby, Maple Leafs Prospect in Goal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>If that was their strategy, it worked out just fine. Dennis Hildeby stopped all three Syracuse shooters, and Alex Steeves scored for the Marlie to claim the win.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Marlies 6 &#8211; Syracuse Crunch 5<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It was difficult to believe it was the same two teams that had played the night before in this game.\u00a0This was a wild seesaw battle with the teams trading goals throughout. It was also a long game that took over three hours to complete. There was as much going on after and between whistles as there was while the clock was ticking.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlikely combatants Topi Niemela and Cage Concalves dropped the gloves in the first period. It was obvious neither player was trained in the art of pugilism.\u00a0It was more of a grappling match with a couple of halfhearted swings.\u00a0If that fight was a preliminary feather-weight bout, Matteo Petrioniro and Tristan Allard were the heavy-weight main event in the second period.\u00a0Both players got in some solid blows in the fight.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After just seven infractions were called in the weekend&#8217;s first game, 20 penalties were handed out in the first two periods of this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh yes, and there were goals scored.\u00a0The Marlies got off to a 2-0 lead in a wild first period. Alex Steeves and Logan Shaw scored two carbon-copy goals at 1:41 and 3:25.\u00a0Both goals were off of wrist shots from the face-off dot to the left of\u00a0Crunch goalie Hugo Alnefelt. Ilya Usau and Waltteri Merela would tie it up for Syracuse before Cameron Gaunce put the Marlies up 3-2 going into the first intermission.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The two teams would each score twice in the second period.\u00a0Concaves and Max Crozier scored for the Crunch while Steeves with his second goal of the game. Nick Abruzzese would reply for the Marlies, giving Toronto a 5-4 lead going into the dressing room at the second intermission.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"703\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Nick-Abruzzese.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2388\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Nick-Abruzzese.jpeg 703w, https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Nick-Abruzzese-211x300.jpeg 211w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 703px) 100vw, 703px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Nick Abruzzese, Maple Leafs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Quinn Schmeimann would get the only goal of the third period to tie the game at five at the end of regulation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once again, the Marlies prioritized puck possession over scoring chances in overtime, satisfied with playing keepaway for five minutes.\u00a0In the shootout, Shaw scored this time for the Marlies, and Matt Murray stopped all three of the Crunch shots to give Toronto the 6-5 win.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/index.php\/2024\/02\/28\/maple-leafs-looming-decision-what-about-tavares\/\">Maple Leafs Looming Decision: What to Do with John Tavares?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Individual Performances<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It was no typo when I said that <a href=\"https:\/\/mapleleafshotstove.com\/2024\/04\/14\/toronto-marlies-punch-playoff-ticket-with-a-weekend-sweep-of-syracuse-in-matt-murrays-marlies-debut\/\">Matt Murray stopped all three Crunch shots<\/a> in the shootout.\u00a0Murray played in his first game in a year and eleven days.\u00a0His last game was on April 2, 2023, against the Detroit Red Wings.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After taking all of this season to recover from hip surgery, the Maple Leafs sent Murray to the AHL for a conditioning stint. As might be expected, he was a bit rusty and allowed five goals on 27 shots. However, he made some key saves late in the game and in the shootout to get the win. He also survived a couple of collisions in the goal crease.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hildeby looked sharp in the weekend\u2019s first game, stopping 27 of the 28 shots he faced to pick up his 21st win against 11 regulation and seven overtime\/shootout losses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alex Steeves scored two goals and added an assist in the two games for 26 goals, 30 assists, and 56 points on the season. That&#8217;s good enough for third place in Marlies&#8217; scoring.\u00a0Joseph Blandisi notched three assists in the 6-5 win and leads the Marlies in points with 59 (on 25 goals and 34 assists).<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"717\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/alex-steeves.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2361\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/alex-steeves.jpeg 717w, https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/alex-steeves-215x300.jpeg 215w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 717px) 100vw, 717px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Alex Steeves, Maple Leafs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Logan Shaw\u2019s two goals give him 30 on the season.&nbsp; It is the first time the 31-year-old has scored 30 goals at any level of his adult career. Shaw sits second in overall scoring for the Marlies with 57 points.&nbsp; He led the Marlies last season with 69 points.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cameron Gaunce scored his first goal of the season in the weekend\u2019s second game. You could tell by the way he and his linemates celebrated afterward.\u00a0Gaunce also added an assist in that game.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In the Playoffs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With the two wins, the Marlies locked themselves into a playoff spot. They are fourth in the North Division with 80 points and can fall no lower than fifth.\u00a0The top five teams in the division all make the postseason.\u00a0They could still win the division with three games remaining in the regular season and a possible six points up for grabs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The top three teams are Syracuse with 84 points, the Rochester Americans with 83 points, and the Cleveland Monsters with 82 points.\u00a0More importantly, if the Marlies can pass one of those teams and make it into the top three, they will get a first-round bye.\u00a0The fourth and fifth-place teams meet in a best-of-three match in round one.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Marlies play the Monsters twice in their last two games of the season and could ultimately determine their fate. Interestingly, Toronto and Cleveland play the Rochester Americans in their next game.\u00a0The Marlies are in Rochester on Wednesday night, and the Crunch will play them a visit on Friday.\u00a0The Marlies then host the Monsters on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.\u00a0Game time for both games is 4:00 pm.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to their record against the Americans before this past weekend the Marlies have yet to beat Cleveland this season.\u00a0Now seems like a good time to start.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/index.php\/2024\/04\/15\/hockey-analyst-compares-nick-robertson-doug-gilmour\/\">Hockey Analyst Compares Nick Robertson to Doug Gilmour<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a successful week, the Toronto Marlies locked up an AHL playoff position.
