The Cleveland Monsters went into last night’s game against the Rochester Americans knowing every game from now until the end of the season is a must win. This sense of importance was clear from the moment the Monsters set foot on the ice.
The bulk of the first period involved Zac Dalpe, Justin Scott, and Kole Sherwood trying to get one past Adam Wilcox. Despite their best effort, the first goal of the night would not be seen until there was 2:10 left in the first.
Tommy Cross launched a rocket from the top of the left faceoff circle.
