Mallards work overtime

MOLINE, IL -- Coach Phil Axtell got his first victory behind the bench after getting a new title on Friday, facing off against the Missouri Mavericks. The Quad City Mallards and Mavericks played their first of three games in as many days, this one coming at the iWireless Center before play transitions to Independence, MO.

Michael Parks opened the scoring just 35 seconds after the opening face-off, Brady Brassart and Nolan LaPorte assisting. The goal came off a backhand shot that faked Eamon McAdam out to cause him to sprawl, leaving a gaping net. Through the first 20 minutes, the Mallards seemed to be on fire.

Kevin Tansey tied the game from the blueline at the ten minutes, 43 seconds mark of the opening frame, Carter Verhaeghe earning the assist. The Mavericks would go on to score three more goals before the night was through, seemingly dashing the Mallards' chances of victory.

Twelve seconds after Kevin Gibson entered the box for highsticking in the second period, Rocco Carzo gave the visitors the lead, Verhaeghe earning his second assist of the night while Darren Nowick earned his first. Two minutes later Dan Correale extended the Mavericks' lead, Nowick and Dane Fox with the assists.

Fox scored a goal of his own just 24 seconds into the final period, Nowick the only apple. The puck found the lone gap in Vay's coverage, sailing in just above his right shoulder as he hugged the post. It was then, when the fire seemed extinguished in the Mallards, that they found a spark.

Parks passed the puck infront of the crease to Pavel Jenys, who scored his sixth goal of the season as he tapped the puck in on McAdam's left side just outside the paint. Chris Francis also assisted on Jenys' goal, which game at the seven minutes and 19 seconds mark.

Jack Nevins put the Mallards within one goal when he found twine at 11 minutes and 21 seconds. LaPorte and Brassart found their ways back to the scoresheet with the assists on Nevin's goal. Thirty-one seconds later Alex Gudbranson tied the game unassisted to send the game to overtime.

Grant Arnold was shoved into McAdam as he screened the goalie shortly after Gudbranson's tally, falling to the ice and knocking McAdam off his feet as well. McAdam punched Arnold with his blocker, drawing another Mav player who seemed to try to punch Arnold as well. This created a scrum to the left of the net, which Adam Vay appeared to want to join. Vay looked over at the bench as the scrum grew, but Coach Axtell told him no. Instead, Vay was forced to watch the proceedings from the other end of the ice., never leaving his crease.

The overtime was scoreless, both goalies making incredible saves. After his fight and victory over Fort Wayne last Saturday, Vay seems to have become the goalie Minnesota knew he could be when they signed him this summer. There was one point where, with 82 seconds left before the shoot-out, Missouri had a breakaway and looked sure to win the match. But whoosh went Vay's glove to make the save and handle the puck to a Mallard player to bring the play back down the ice.

The Mavericks' shot first in the shoot-out, Verhaeghe getting the first chance. He, as well as Fox at the end, missed; Radoslav Illo was the only Missouri player to be successful in the shoot-out. Francis shot first for the Mallards and scored, followed by Parks. Parks found twine, once again on the backhand, to win the game.

The Mallards travel to Independence to take on the Mavericks again on Saturday and Sunday, puck drop on Saturday scheduled for 7 CST.

The Monday Marlie: Marlies Hungry To Turn Season Around

New Post has been published on https://nhlrumormill.com/the-monday-marlie-marlies-hungry-to-turn-season-around/

The Monday Marlie: Marlies Hungry To Turn Season Around

When Chris Mueller came out and addressed the media after the Toronto Marlies fell 2-1 to the Binghamton Devils on Saturday night, it was almost as if the veteran forward was providing a state of the union testimony.

“We’re a desperate hockey team,” said Mueller. “We haven’t had much success. Frustration’s kicking in a little bit.”

The angst amongst the Marlies group is well warranted, as the defending Calder Cup champions currently sit one point above last place in the North division. Due to the predicament the Marlies are in, Saturdays loss–where the Marlies were arguably the better team–stings that much more.

“Right now it’s about wins,” Mueller said. “They’ve been hard to come by, as of late.”

The Marlies have come a long way since their horrid 1-4-0-1 start, though. Through that span, they were sacrificing 35.6 shots against per game and surrendering 5.16 goals against per game. Since their struggles out of the gate, the Marlies have gone 5-3-1-1, bringing their shot against total down to 26.9 and their goals against per game to 3.40.

But still, the Marlies are treading under .500 hockey and that’s just not going to cut it for this group.

“We weren’t going to step in to this season and pick up right where we left off [last season],” said Mueller. “We earned last years success and thats what we have to learn to do, here.”

Catapulting up the standings isnt easy, though. The Marlies have a long road ahead of them, and they know it.

“It’s November now. We’re in a position where we cant have a game off,” said starting goalie Kasimir Kaskisuo. “We need to grind for each win.”

Things may not have been so desperate if the Marlies hadn’t come out the wrong end of several of their tight contests. The Marlies have been defeated in both shootouts they’ve been in and they’ve come out the wrong end on two of the three one-goal games they’ve been engaged in.

They’ve come oh-so-close to being well-over .500, but coming close is not good enough for this group. They’re far from satisfied with where they’re sitting in the standings.

“We know what it takes. It just comes down to going out and executing,” said Adam Brooks. “I think, right now, things definitely aren’t going our way but like I said, we’re going to get things back on track soon.”

There almost seems to be a degree of confidence from this group that still has 15 members from last years Calder Cup Championship winning team, and rightfully so. The teams running the same systems as last year, most of the personnel is still in tact and lets not kid ourselves, there is plenty of talented players on this roster.

When you’ve got lots of talent and a championship pedigree in a dressing room, treading near the bottom of the standings isn’t going to bode well.

“Our guys are hungry to get this thing turned around,” Sheldon Keefe said on Saturday.

As this Marlies group appears pissed off for greatness, things are on the upswing for them.

A win on 3-2 win against Binghamton on Sunday snapped a three game losing streak. Kasimir Kaskisuo has recovered from his injury and returned to his starting duties. Meanwhile Eamon McAdam (who Keefe deemed “excellent” after a 27-save win on Sunday) has proven to be a reliable backup net minder, putting the teams goalie situation, for the time being, at ease.

So, things aren’t looking as gloomy as they once were, but climbing up the standings, from where the club is situated–is a tall task.

But there’s plenty of hockey to be played and you shouldn’t count out the defending Calder Cup champions, just yet.

Rasmus Sandin Continues to Progress

It can’t be emphasized enough how much Rasmus Sandin continues to evolve, with each passing game.

Through seven contests, Sandin has recorded three goals (third most amongst rookie defenceman) and tallied five points. He’s played mainly with Vincent Loverde on the teams third pair, but his usage has increased as of late, with Keefe trusting Sandin with some hefty power play minutes.

“He’s showing the ability to contribute in lots of different areas for us. Every game that he plays, he seems to get another level of comfort,” Keefe said after Sundays game. “We, in turn, get a little extra confidence to put him out in different situations—It’s very positive how he’s progressed.”

I wrote a few weeks ago that Sandin could play his way into a bigger role with the Marlies, but I had no idea it’d be before he hit the 10-game mark.

With an off the charts hockey IQ, it really appears the sky is the limit for the Leafs 2018 first round pick.

This is what Rasmus Sandin does so well. Doesn't get rattled under pressure, takes puck and makes a great zone entry. #Marlies pic.twitter.com/RpnFfKNWFy

Depleted Centre Depth

The Marlies have lost two key bodies down the middle for the foreseeable future.

The Vancouver Canucks recalled Sam Gagner from the Marlies. The Canucks are currently battling a slew of injuries to their forward core and with Gagner impressing through his Marlies tenure (he recorded15 points in 15 games), he’s likely gone from the Marlies indefinitely.

Gagner will play tonight vs. Jets, confirms Coach Green. "His versatility is great up front. He'll play on the power play too. Our team is going through some adversity and Sam is a pro, he'll help with that."

— Vancouver Canucks (@Canucks) November 19, 2018

Furthermore, Marlies head coach Sheldon Keefe estimated that centre Adam Cracknell will be sidelined for around two to four weeks.

Frank Corrado

The Marlies gave Frank Corrado–who is recovering from an ACL surgery— a big test this weekend when they suited him up in back-to-back games on Saturday and Sunday.

Keefe placed Corrado on the top pair on Saturday with Calle Rosen, and he fared quite well. On Sunday he was paired with Andrew Nielsen on the third pair and he wasn’t as noticeable, but all-in-all Keefe has been impressed with Corrado.

“I thought he had a good week,” said Keefe. “I thought [Saturday] was his best game. Today, with so many power plays and stuff—he’s not getting out there quite as much. He showed some positive steps in his play. He looks to be getting more comfortable and finding his way.”

News and Notes

The Marlies are 6-7-1-2, pegging them seventh in the North division.

Over the weekends three-in-three against Belleville and Binghamton, the Marlies went 3/22 on the power play (13.6%)

The Marlies power play is currently operating at a 18.8% efficiency rate (T-16th)

Mason Marchment and Carl Grundstrom snapped three game point droughts on Sunday.

The Marlies assigned Brady Ferguson and Giorgio Estephan to the Growlers on Monday afternoon.
