GDT: Toronto Marlies at OKC, 8 p.m. (LeafsTV)

It’s a meeting of two top AHL affiliates of a pair of young and rebuilding Canadian NHL franchises, both vying for a spot in the Calder Cup Final.

The Western Conference final between the AHL Western Conference’s top two teams in the Toronto Marlies and Oklahoma City Barons has little separating them on paper. A goaltending duel between Ben Scrivens and the more veteran Yann Danis could prove to be the pivotal matchup of the series. Both have top three stats among goaltenders in the AHL playoffs.

Check the thread for live updates.

    Danis had the second best stats (next to Scrivens) during the regular season with a 2.07 GAA 9.24 SV% so getting 5 goals here is no easy task.

    Scrivens with 4 goals against in 5 road games. Not bad.

    Whoo Hoo. I was hoping the boys would win one of the two on the road. Now I’m getting greedy.

    During media scrum with Yan Gomes, Omar Vizquel presented him with the 2 baseballs that represent his first 2 MLB hits. Gomes looked humbled

    Impressive showing for sure. Points are kinda cool with so many coming from the young guys. Holtzer -1, Mueller – 2, Dupuis – 2, Kadri -2, Deschamps – 2, Gardiner -1, Colborn -1, Frattin -1, Damigo -1. So no points from the older guys.

    I only saw the last 10 minutes of the game. I’m watching the replay on Leafs TV now. The only thing I can say for sure is that he finished the game +1 with no goals, assists or points and 1 shot on goal. Stats from the game sheet I posted above.

    I think you could consider Dupuis an older guy.

    The ice in OKC was seriously shitty and it looked like someone might have heated up the pucks they way they were bouncing around. Could have been 10 – 0.
