Gabe Klassen buries a chance at the net-front, Artur Akhtyamov lost track of it, and it's 3-2 Penguins with 51 seconds left in the 2nd.

[Arun Srinivasan @Arunthings]

Chase Pietila's shot gets through traffic, and we're tied 2-2 with 11 minutes left in the second.

Landon Sim drops his gloves this time with Chase Pietila, but proceeds to hug the #WBSPens defender before the two tumble to the ice.

Landon Sim suckers Chase Pietila into dropping his gloves before skating to the Marlies' bench.

Referees are going to take both players for unsportsmanlike conduct, and Sim isn't happy about it. @InsideAHLHockey

Chaos agent Landon Sim drops the gloves with Chase Pietila and a spirited tilt ensues.

Feels like that first goal for Danford isn’t far off.

[Arun Srinivasan @Arunthings]

Ben Danford just hit the post on a wrister with some velocity. Danford is quietly getting into the rush more often.

Easton Cowan picks up the primary helper on Vinny Lettieri’s power play marker

[Toronto Marlies @TorontoMarlies]

A CLASSIC LETTIERI LASER 💥

Vinni Lettieri scores on the power-play to make it 2-0!

[Nick Richard @_NickRichard]

Vinni Lettieri has been deadly in the postseason and he finds the net again on the power play to make it 2-0 Marlies.

@CCpxpSN Congrats CC, well deserved!

[Nick Richard @_NickRichard]

One of the first real noticeable gaffes for Ben Danford since joining the Marlies. Got a bit cute with the puck as the last man back and had to scramble back after turning it over.

[Nick Richard @_NickRichard]

Great play by Mermis to keep this one out

[Toronto Marlies @TorontoMarlies]

MERMS SAID NOT TODAY 😤🦵

[Nick Richard @_NickRichard]

Mikhail Ilyin with a great chance on the Penguins power play and (I think) Dakota Mermis got behind Akhtyamov to make a save on the goal line.

[Nick Richard @_NickRichard]

Some rest looks to have served Easton Cowan well… he’s dancing early in this one.

[Toronto Marlies @TorontoMarlies]

A GOAL'S A GOAL!

Bo Groulx scores shorthanded to give us the 1-0 lead!

[Nick Richard @_NickRichard]

Sergei Murashov misplays a puck behind his own net and Bo Groulx pounces on it in the crease to make it 1-0 with the Marlies shorthanded. Huge break.

[Brock Otten @BrockOtten]

Here’s the thing that I’d start to be concerned about if I was an NHL team…how is there enough playing time and responsibility to go around for some of these super teams getting built? Wouldn’t you rather your high pick get a year of top PP duties and first line minutes?

[Nick Richard @_NickRichard]

Easton Cowan returns to the Marlies lineup after missing games two and three with an upper-body injury.

Taking line rushes with Groulx and Nylander. #Marlies #Leafs

The speed of the Hurricanes is soooo much to handle. Allows them to smother and counterattack relentlessly.

Ehlers is such a good fit for them.

@davehall1289 Congrats, Dave!
