Marlies come from behind to beat Stars 6-5 in Game 1 of Calder Cup final
TORONTO — Having not played against the Western Conference champions this season, it took some time for the Toronto Marlies to settle in against the Texas Stars.
“There are a lot of chunks in this game that weren’t very good for us,” Marlies coach Sheldon Keefe said following a come-from-behind 6-5 win over the Stars on Saturday in Game 1 of the American Hockey League’s Calder Cup final. “It was ugly for sure, but we’re up one, and we’re going to take it.”
Trevor Moore scored the game-winning goal at 10:03 of the third period to help Toronto erase a two-goal deficit.
“Mules (Chris Mueller) made a good pass,” Moore said of his goal.
