TORONTO – Easton Cowan scored in the second period, Artur Akhtyamov made 24 saves, and the Toronto Marlies edged the Chicago Wolves 1-0 on Tuesday to take a commanding 3-0 lead in the Calder Cup final.

Game 4 in the best-of-seven, American Hockey League championship series is Thursday at Coca-Cola Coliseum.

After a scoreless first period, Cowan scored 2:47 into the middle frame and then the Marlies leaned on Akhtyamov to do the rest.

The Marlies outshot the Wolves 28-24 and went 0-for-4 on the power play. The Wolves were 0-for-3 with the man advantage.

Toronto won the first two games of the series in Chicago (4-2 and 5-4 in overtime) and have two shots to wrap up the series on home ice — Thursday or Friday.
