Munro Makes 27 Saves In Toronto’s Final Game At The Spectrum
(PHILADELPHIA, PA) – The slogan is Remember The Spectrum and the Marlies have a few good memories for their final game in “America’s Showplace”.
Adam Munro made 27 saves for his second shutout of the season as the Marlies earned a very big 3-0 win over the Phantoms, increasing their lead to 3 points over Syracuse, while dealing Philadelphia a dent in their playoff hopes.
Tim Stapleton, Jaime Sifers and Ryan Hamilton had the Toronto goals, as the Marlies snapped a four game losing skid.
Stapleton opened the scoring 1:22 into the game, when his shot from the right circle; beat Scott Munroe on the stick side. Sifers increased the lead to 2-0 at the midway point of the period on the power play, when he tapped home a Jeremy Williams rebound into the Philly goal.
Hamilton scored the loan goal of the second period, when he found a loose puck in the slot and tucked it behind Munroe for the 3-0 lead.
The Phantoms pressed in the third period firing 15 shots on Munro, but he was solid keeping the door closed. That included a power play when the Phantoms called Bates Battaglia on an illegal stick.
The Marlies were 1 for 4 on the power play, while holding the Phantoms scoreless on five man advantages.
Toronto will face the Penguins in Wilkes-Barre on Saturday night.
