The Marlies also won yesterday, defeating the Utica Comets 4-1\. We will have a recap of that game up shortly.

You know who else won? The Solar Bears! They defeated the Brampton Beast 5-2\. [Don Money has a recap here.](http://prohockeynews.com/solar-bears-hitting-stride-as-homestand-nears-end/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)

Check out this bizarre off-the-goalies-back goal by Austin Block. Make sure to stick around to the end of the video for dancing Shades!

The Leafs now have two days off, returning to face the Oilers on Wednesday and the Flames on Thursday. No, it’s not a road trip to Alberta, they are both coincidentally coming here back-to-back.
