TORONTO -- Toronto Marlies coach Steve Spott felt his team had more than enough opportunity to pick up two points Saturday afternoon at Ricoh Coliseum. Torontos power play was held scoreless on three opportunities, including once in overtime, and the Marlies out-shot the Iowa Wild 39-27, but fell 2-1 in a shootout to the visitors. Carson MacMillan and Zack Phillips scored in the shootout to help Iowa snap a five-game skid. It was the Wilds fourth win in 11 games. "I think we had more than enough opportunity to put the game away," said Spott. "Very good players with empty nets and were hitting posts, were not getting pucks up and over (Wild starter, Johan) Gustafsson. "We had some glorious chances, that we didnt put in the back of the net. When you let a team like that -- thats desperate -- hang around, thats what the result is going to be." Toronto dropped to 1-1-0 on their current three-game, three-night stretch and had their three-game win streak snapped. MacMillan faked a slapshot and then beat Marlies starter Garret Sparks in the first round of the shootout. Then Phillips faked a shot, got Sparks moving before beating him glove-side in the third round. Jamie MacQueen scored in regulation for Iowa (26-30-10), while Gustafsson made 38 saves for his 12th win of the season. Peter Holland had the lone goal for Toronto (40-20-6). Sparks made 25 saves in his first loss since Jan. 25. The Marlies couldve had a fourth power-play opportunity, in the third period. Wild forward Brett Bulmer was assessed a roughing minor, but Brandon Kozun retaliated with a careless cross-check and negated the man advantage chance. When asked of Kozuns penalty, Spott responded, "I think he wont play tomorrow." With the win, the Wild earn a split in the season series. The Marlies won the only other meeting between the two teams 4-3 on Jan. 15 in Des Moines, Iowa. Holland tied it 1-1, with his ninth of the season, at 1:12 of the third period by picking up the rebound off of a Kenny Ryan shot and beating Gustafsson stick-side. "Kenny made a nice play, just coming down the right side and threw it off the pad," said Holland of the play. "I was lucky enough to kind of pick up the rebound, pull it across the net and tuck it in the far side." Toronto dropped to 5-12-4 when trailing after 40 minutes this season. MacQueen opened the scoring at 7:37 beating Sparks with a shot from the bottom of the face-off circle for his second of the season. Prior to MacQueens goal, Kris Foucault had a great scoring chance when his shot beat Sparks, but hit the post at 6:00 of the second. Holland had an excellent chance to open the scoring at 16:00 of the first period, but put his shot off the side of the net with Gustafsson out of position. "We missed a couple point-blank opportunities with open nets, putting it out the far side," said Holland agreeing with Spotts assessment. "Either that or hitting the post, a couple bounces go our way, its a different story." Toronto concludes their three-game, three night stretch, when they host the Abbotsford Heat on Sunday. The Marlies need three points to clinch a playoff spot as well as their third consecutive North Division title. Its something the Maple Leafs minor leaguers are focused on. "As we go forward here our job is to win the division and try to catch Grand Rapids for second in the conference and thats still our goal," said Spott. Added Holland: "Thats obviously our main objective here is to clinch as fast as we can. We dont want to take any of the teams we play lightly, but just work on things going into the playoffs. Give guys who dont get a lot of minutes a chance to play more. Its definitely something were focusing on." Notes: Rookie defenceman Eric Knodel made his professional debut replacing Korbinian Holzer for the Marlies. The Maple Leafs recalled forward Jerry DAmigo from the Marlies on Saturday. Marlies goaltender Drew MacIntyre was a healthy scratch as Christopher Gibson backed up Sparks. Spott said Holzer, MacIntyre and captain Trevor Smith were all given the day off to rest bumps and bruises. Alan Page Jersey .

The rock bands back-to-back shows on Sept. 11 and 12 will serve as test events for the Saddledome, which is looking much like it did prior to June 21 when the Elbow River gushed into the event level, rose to the eighth row of seats and submerged the Calgary Flames dressing room. "Were back in business," Ken King, president of Calgary Flames and Entertainment Corporation, declared Thursday. About 2,500 seats have been replaced and a new ice plant was installed. Ice is back on the arena surface and the glass along the boards has been erected, albeit still swathed in packing paper. The work isnt finished. The event level was full of ladders and crews, but the arena received its occupancy permit last Friday, according to King. "Every piece of equipment below decks here is brand new," he said. "Every piece of cutlery. We havent turned a stove on. We havent cooked a hamburger or made a piece of toast, but everything is in place to go. Well have a trial run pretty quick." NHL main camps open Sept. 11. The Flames will hold training camp in a different arena, but King expects their first exhibition game Sept. 14 to be played at the Saddledome. The event level is the lowest floor in the building and the nerve centre for cconcerts and hockey games.dddddddddddd Kitchens, hockey jerseys and equipment, staff uniforms and the electronics that operate the massive scoreboard are just a few examples of what the 30-year-old Saddledome lost in the floods that swept through southern Alberta. The arena is an important concert venue for the annual Calgary Stampede. KISS, the Dixie Chicks and Tim McGraw were forced to reschedule and the Carly Rae Jepson concert was cancelled. But King calls the Saddledomes restoration "miraculous." "Seventy-five days ago we would have been standing under nine feet of water," Robert Blanchard, director of building operations for the Saddledome, said from the event level. "In that time, its probably been about 650,000 man hours put into the building to get it back to where it is. Thats about a six-month project we compressed into two months." There was no time for fancy upgrades and contractors had to work quickly without blueprints, Blanchard said. "Were doing all this reconstruction based on photos and peoples memories because our drawing room was down on this level and all the drawings are probably floating around Medicine Hat right now," he said. King did not put a price tag on the arenas recovery. "We havent talked about that much," he said. "Its a big number in terms of business interruption and property loss."
