The Toronto Marlies and Texas Stars have rescheduled a game on Mar. 2 in Texas after their Jan. 10 matchup was cancelled following a medical emergency prior to puck drop.

The Marlies were initially forced to forfeit the Jan. 10 game when Toronto assistant coach Rob Davison suffered a grand mal seizure in the locker room.

At the time, the team felt it was in the best interest of the players to not go through with the game considering the state of shock and concern for Davison. As a result, the game was cancelled and Texas was awarded a 1-0 win.

On Feb. 14, the AHL Board of Governors voted in favour of rescheduling the game.
