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.

The Marlies went on to win the game 3-2.

Carroll as a Peterborough Pete played 55 games with 25 goals and 27 assists. He was obtained from the Soo Greyhounds last year for three draft picks on Oct. 14 last year. He also played three games for the Senators in the same year but did not register a point.
