Toronto Marlies vs Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins 3 June 2026 Prediction

The fourth game of the AHL Eastern Conference Final between Toronto Marlies vs Wilkes-Barre/Scranton will take place in Canada. After three games, the Canadian club leads the series 2-1. Bookmakers favor the visitors, which was expected after the Penguins won Game 3 and brought the series back into play.

Toronto

The Marlies are in strong form. The team has won six of its last nine playoff games, and in this series it has already won twice in Pennsylvania. In the first two games, Toronto showed that it can handle pressure and convert key chances late. It is no coincidence that Michael Pezzetta became the main player in both opening games of the series. Toronto’s home playoff results also look solid, with wins over Rochester, Laval, and Cleveland. However, Game 3 showed that the hosts’ defense is far from perfect: the team allowed five goals and lost to this opponent for the first time in the series.

Wilkes-Barre/Scranton

After two home losses, it looked as if the series was slipping away from the Penguins. But Kirk MacDonald’s team responded well. In Game 3, the visitors won 5-3, with finishing quality and strong performances from their attacking leaders making the difference. Ville Koivunen, Aidan McDonough, and Atley Calvert each recorded two points, while goaltender Sergei Murashov again played at a high level. It is important to note that the Penguins have been one of the best road teams, and in this playoff run they have won four of five away games.

Series Situation

After three games, Toronto leads the series 2-1. Each matchup has been fairly close in terms of play. At the same time, the teams have combined for 17 goals across three games, which points to an open series. Based on the way both attacks are playing, the teams should continue to generate chances.
