WBS Weekly: WBS tightens grip on a playoff spot with 2-0-1 week

Wednesday, March 9: Cleveland 3 @ WBS 2 (OT)

The WBS Penguins returned home to start a five-game homestand this week, first welcoming the Cleveland Monsters back to town on Wednesday. WBS had won the three previous games against Cleveland this season, so a season sweep was at stake.

WBS dominated the first 20 minutes, outshooting the Monsters 20-6. The returning Kasper Bjorkqvist, who had rejoined WBS the morning of the game, opened the scoring with his fifth goal of the season at 4:18 of the first, assisted by Michael Chaput and Anthony Angello.
