Game two of the 2026 Calder Cup Finals was set for a Sunday matinee between the Toronto Marlies and Chicago Wolves as they pursue the Calder Cup trophy—the pinnacle of the American Hockey League.
Chicago took home ice advantage first, but it wasn't enough to stop the Marlies from surging to two statement wins to start the series on the road.
It all looked fine and well for the home team at the end of the first as they led 2-1, but the Marlies would have something to say about that in the second.
Alex Nylander drew a penalty shot and the momentum fully into the Marlies' hands until halfway through the third.
Juuso Valimaki was the hero for the Chicago Wolves, giving them life at the end of the game and forcing overtime with just 17 seconds remaining.
Benoit-Olivier Groulx scored two goals for Toronto, the second of which set up the near-buzzer beater to give Chicago one last breath.
Finally, in overtime, it was the Captain, Logan Shaw who secured the win after brute-forcing the puck into the net at the post and beating Primeau.
Toronto's netminder Artur Akhtyamov had 28 saves. Primeau had 27.
Toronto and Chicago head to Canada for game three on Tuesday with a 2-0 lead in-hand for the Marlies.

Chicago Circling, Marlies Holding On - 12:13 3rd
TOR 3, CHI 2
The Wolves have been on the prowl as they look for a way past Akhtyamov but he's kept them frustrated, so far.

Marlies Lead After Penalty-Filled Period - End of 2nd
TOR 3, CHI 2
The Marlies head into the locker room with the lead after two periods.
The middle frame was packed with advantages both ways after it opened with 4-on-4 play. Between a penalty shot and two power plays for the Wolves, it was the Marlies who came out on top with all of the momentum.
The Wolves were able to get their offensive spun up, though, throwing 12 shots on goal during the period.
Shots on goal:
- TOR: 23
- CHI: 20
Lettieri Beats Primeau! - 4:15 2nd
TOR 3, CHI 2

Marlies Kill It Off - 7:09 2nd
TOR 2, CHI 2
All tied up at two halfway through game two and the home team is heading back on the power play after Robidas drew a high-sticking call deep in the Wolves zone. He was in a board battle with Cedric Paré who was sent to the box as a result of the play.
Nylander Nails Penalty Shot - 15:48 2nd
TOR 2, CHI 2
The Wolves got caught and Marlies had a rush heading down the ice. Nylander was out front with the puck and drew a penalty shot after getting hooked on the way there.

TOR 1, CHI 2
Fensore caught Tverberg in the face with his stick to send the Marlies back on the power play for a chance to tie it back up before the end of the first.
It wasn't long before Tverberg was in the box himself after slashing Ronan Seeley's stick in half.

The Marlies set up their offense with the advantage for nearly a minute in the Wolves zone and had Primeau in desperation mode, who made a series of great stops.
Chicago Takes Early Lead! - 18:07 1st
TOR 0, CHI 1
Charles Alexis Legault opened the scoring with a great shot from all the way out near the blue line. He moved towards the center to find traffic and hit the post into the back of the net.
