Marlies säkrar plats i Calder Cup-slutspelet efter övertidsvinst

Toronto Marlies säkrade en plats i 2026 års Calder Cup-slutspel genom en 4-3-seger efter förlängning mot Utica på onsdagen. Detta markerar lagets fjärde raka slutspelsframträdande och det 15:e i klubbens historia. Laget nådde tidigare Calder Cup-finalen 2012 och vann mästerskapet 2018.

Torontos vinst låser fast en av fem slutspelsplatser från North Division. De tre främsta lagen i divisionen får en friplats direkt till semifinalerna, medan fyran och femman möts i en första omgång i bäst av tre matcher. Marlies slutspelskvalificering bygger vidare på deras framgångar i American Hockey League på senare tid. AHL:s grundserie 2025-26 avslutas den 19 april, vilket innebär att lagen fortsätter kämpa om slutplaceringarna. Historiken understryker Marlies meriter: de tog sig till Calder Cup-final 2012 och lyfte bucklan 2018, deras enda titel hittills.
