The Monsters shutout the IceHogs last night ending their three-game lose streak. Thiessen stopped 32 shots.
During the first period, both teams played a defensively sound game. Offensively, not so much. There were a lot of great shot attempts but each team’s defense was there almost instantly to break up the play.
The Monsters played a bit fancier than normal for the first half of the game. Once they went back to the basics momentum turned in their favor.
With a little under three minutes to go in the second period, Justin Scott fed the puck to an open Blake Siebenaler who fired it into the netting behind Jeff Glass.
