These Friday FTBs are becoming a habit. The Toronto Marlies try to close out their series against the Lehigh Valley Phantoms tonight at 7:05 pm Eastern. You can watch that on TSN2 or the NHL Network. The Phantoms may be without their starting goalie, as they’re still waiting on word as to whether Alex Lyon will serve a suspension for that kick from last game. If he’s out, I’m sure Dustin Tokarski will do juuuust fine. > "Victor Ejdsell!
