Former Peterborough Pete Joe Carroll had a memorable boxing day, scoring his first career American Hockey League (AHL) goal against the Toronto Marlies at the Scotiabank Arena on Monday.
Carroll scored the first goal of the game, 5:57 into the first period. He chased a dumped-in puck into the Marlies zone and centred a pass out for forward Matthew Boucher for a one-timed shot.
The puck was saved by Marlies goaltender Keith Petruzzelli but Carroll capitalized on a rebound and scored. That was Carroll’s only shot of the game.
