The Toronto Marlies opened their second straight 3-in-3 weekend with a 2-1 shootout victory over the Rochester Americans.
In the first period, Dylan Gambrell scored his 13th of the season at 17:56 to give the Marlies a 1-0 lead. With an assist on the goal, Tate Singleton recorded his first career AHL point.
In the third period, Rochester tied the game with just under three minutes remaining thanks to a goal from Linus Weissbach. Both teams exchanged chances in overtime but a shootout was needed.
In the shootout, Nick Abruzzese scored the game winner for Toronto, and Dennis Hildeby stopped all three Amerks shooters for his 17th win of the season.
The Marlies return to action on Saturday at Coca-Cola Coliseum when they host the Hartford Wolf Pack. Puck drop is at 4:00pm on the Toronto Maple Leafs App, AHLTV and NHL Network.
