State of the Monsters Address : Injuries, PTOs, and a Road Trip! OH MY!

The Cleveland Monsters headed out on a pre-Christmas roadtrip last weekend to take on the Milwaukee Admirals and Rockford IceHogs. With more injuries piling up between the Monsters and Columbus Blue Jackets, the Monsters had to turn to PTOs to fill their roster.

On December 16th, the Monsters signed defenseman Steve Johnson to a PTO. The Minnesota native spent this season playing for the Wheeling Nailers (ECHL). During his time in Wheeling, Johnson tallied one goal and 11 assists over 25 games.

Brady Shaw, son of Blue Jackets assistant coach Brad Shaw, was signed to a PTO on December 20th.
