A desperate Monsters team came out hard (not unexpectedly), established a strong forecheck early, and were able to build themselves a 2-0 lead inside seven minutes.
They were certainly helped by the Marlies, who allowed themselves to be undone by a defensive zone pass from Dillon Simpson to send Trey Fix-Wolansky on a breakaway.
