Marlies Fall 4–3 in Overtime After Late Comeback by Manitoba
November 7 | Canada Life Centre
The Toronto Marlies battled back from a third-period deficit and briefly took the lead, but the Manitoba Moose rallied to earn a 4–3 overtime victory on Saturday night.
Toronto showed offensive resilience, scoring twice early in the third period, but a late Manitoba power-play goal forced overtime.
The Moose then delivered the deciding goal at 4:10 of the extra period
Game Highlights
First Period: Toronto opened the scoring through Noah Chadwick at 5:48, giving the Marlies a 1–0 lead.
Second Period: Manitoba responded with two goals, including a shorthanded marker by Cameron Yoder, to take a 2–1 advantage.
Third Period: Toronto came out aggressively. Marc Johnstone tied the game before Borya Valis scored just 49 seconds later to put the Marlies ahead 3–2.

Noah Chadwick: Goal and an assist.
Marc Johnstone: Important game-tying goal.
Borya Valis: Scored to give Toronto the third-period lead.

What It Means
Toronto showed character by overcoming a one-goal deficit and taking the lead in the third period.
However, the inability to protect that advantage and the failure to convert on seven power-play opportunities proved costly.
The Marlies need to improve their special-teams execution and find a way to close out tight games.
A strong third-period response, but another overtime loss leaves Toronto looking for better results in close contests.
Next Game: Toronto is scheduled to visit the Syracuse Crunch on November 13
