It's all on the line for the Toronto Marlies tonight. Their first round play-in series against the Belleville Senators started on Wednesday and they looked good at the start with Marshall Rifai scoring the first goal, but then it all fell apart and they lost the game 3-1.

The AHL first round is a best-of-three for the teams that just squeak in to the playoff brackets, so that means the Marlies must win tonight or they are eliminated.

"Where do you need to improve?"
"Everywhere."

Here's tonight's lineup.
