The Marlies vs. Devils series is tied at one game each. Tonight the series returns to Ricoh Coliseum. It’s a best of three series, so whoever wins tonight has a big advantage going in to Saturday’s game. You can catch up on the Marlies with our primer later this morning.

In fact, we have a lot of content for you today, including from a new staff writer. Make sure to check in throughout the day.

We’ll also be at the Marlies game tonight. If you plan to go, don’t forget that [we have a special ticket offer for you for up to 30% off](http://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/toronto-marlies/2017/4/17/15331198/ppp-toronto-marlies-ahl-calder-cup-ticket-offer)!
