Greg Scott Scores Shorthanded Goal Late In Third, But Not Enough To Avoid Seventh Straight Loss
(SAN ANTONIO, TX) - The AHL All-Star break is upon the Marlies and it's not a moment too soon.
Justin Pogge made 29 saves and Sean Zimmerman's second period goal would stand as the winner, as the Marlies suffered a 5-2 loss to the Rampage in San Antonio on Sunday.
Ryan Hollweg, Chad Kolarik, Sean Sullivan and Mikkel Boedker had the other Rampage goals. Ashton Rome and Greg Scott scored for Toronto.
Andrew Engelage made 39 saves in goal for Toronto.
Rome opened the scoring just over six minutes into the game as Richard Greenop tried a wrap around on Pogge that went off his stick and into the slot, where Rome snapped the shot into the top of the net. Hollweg replied later in the period on the power play, when he tipped a MacGregor Sharp point shot past Engelage to make it 1-1 after twenty minutes.
Kolarik and Zimmerman would score in the second to give the Rampage a 3-1 lead after two periods.
Toronto battled back and Viktor Stalberg, who celebrated his birthday today, set-up Scott for a shorthanded break. He snapped a shot through the pads of Pogge to make it a 3-2 game with just under four minutes left in the third. But 35 seconds later, Sullivan took a pass from Pogge and went end to end on the power play, and finshed with a snap shot through the legs of Engelage to make it 4-2. Boedker added an empty net goal.
Toronto will resume it's 8 game road trip after the All-Star break on Friday night for their final stop on the trip in Grand Rapids.
