The Texas Stars and Toronto Marlies will decide the American Hockey League championship in Game 7 of the Calder Cup Finals on Thursday (7 p.m. ET; NHLN, TSN2).
It is the first Game 7 in the Finals since 2003, and the second since 1996.
"We have an opportunity now again to play in a one-game shot on home ice for a championship," Toronto coach Sheldon Keefe said after losing Game 6 5-2 on Tuesday. "So we have to turn the page, recognize what didn't go well for us and why it didn't go well for us tonight. We will talk more about that tomorrow, but most importantly we just wanted to get our team's mindset right to recognize that we have got a great opportunity that we should be excited for."
