He had 5 points in that third game, including that goal above.
 
Marlies up 2-0.Korshkov with a tap in from Bracco who has 2 assists so far. Sandin with an assist, Agostino with the 1st goal. KK solid in net.

So it turns out Antropov wasn't just helping out at development camp over the summer, but has joined the dev team on the regular as a skills coach (and Russian interpreter as Korshkov has next to zero English).

After impressing Leafs head coach Mike Babcock in training camp, a plan was put in place that mandated Korshkov be groomed for a specific role with the NHL club.

?He?s a big-body player, he has a high degree of skill, for him it?s a question of getting acclimated, of playing meaningful minutes. Last year, he joined our team, which was very well set for the playoff run, we didn?t see him play quite nine minutes a game. The mandate to our coaches is that he?s going to play,? Marlies general manager Laurence Gilman said ahead of the team?s home opener.

?The more ice time he gets down here and the more opportunity he gets to see different situations, the better he?ll be at hopefully getting to the NHL sooner.?

Getting Korshkov to the NHL sooner, rather than later, meant that Keefe was asked to ensure he plays in the Marlies top six forwards at even strength, on the top power play unit and on one of their two penalty kills. Early on in the season, after coming away impressed with what he saw in Korshkov?s defensive instincts and soft hands, Keefe was comfortable using him in that role. Instead of being forced to use Korshkov in a specific way, Keefe learned that he was actually well-equipped to play anywhere in the lineup.

He's been hanging out with Mikheyev in his down time.
 
Petan makes an immediate impact for the Marlies potting 2 (the opening goal and the eventual game winner) and assisting on two en route to a 7-4 win

Growlers and Marlies are a bit OP for their respective leagues.

They should be in the NHL.
 
Brazeau with 3g 4a in 8 games.

I don't have any context for those numbers other than most of the forwards are at least in and around a PPG pace.
 
Can't figure out why R?s?nen is not on the Growlers.  Seems the gig in Russia is not helping him all that much..bring him over, get him in our system and let him play huge minutes.

He wanted to be close to home.
 
Key return piece of the Brown/Zaitsev trade, Aaron Luchuk, has been reassigned to the Marlies and makes his debut today at 1C (Brooks is injured). In 10 games for the Growlers, Luchuk put up 5G and 11A to lead the team in scoring.

Giorgio Estephane, second leading scorer on the Growlers was also recalled and will be making his debut as well.

Sandin is sitting as part of his rotation, as he routinely plays 30+ min in all situations.

Cool.

This was the Marlies? only goal en route to their first regulation loss of the season.
 
Kasimir Kaskisuo has performed like a capable starter, posting a .924 save percentage through his first six games. He?s had to face a heavy dose of scoring chances against every night, but has mostly found a way to keep the puck out.  (from PPP)...I would think after todays game 28 saves on 30 shots his save percentage went up?
 
Joey Duszak and Mac Hollowell have been called up to the Marlies.
Keefe says this was always the plan, but with Liljegren likely on the shelf for a while, this is a good opportunity for these two RD to show what they've got.

Great news on this move. These guys have very large upsides.  The way Barrie is playing I would say I would trade him in a minute, he is not going to be in long term plans anyway.

I figured this was going to happen.  They're the best of the Growlers d-men that have some upside and future.
 
I'm not sure if this means they'll be up for the rest of the season. The way Keefe was talking it seemed like this was just a planned time for them to come up while the Marlies and Growlers were both off during the week for some practices and skill development sessions and sorta just to catch up and see how they're doing a month+ into the season. Obviously though, Liljegren's injury opens up an opportunity for them to maybe get some games in now.
