Monsters Hang on For 4-3 Win Over Milwaukee

This time, the Admirals made them pay on a slap shot from the point by Aniti Philstrom, assists by Alexander Sulzer and Nick Spaling.

 

So much for the Admirals having difficulty scoring.

 

Then again, the Monsters weren’t having trouble either.  Two minutes later, on what appeared to be a pre-discussed play, the Monsters tipped a puck up the boards after a face-off in their own end.  Tom Frische raced down the ice, chased down the puck, skated around the back of the Admirals net, found T.J. Galliardi out front, and walla, it was 1-1. 

 

The rest of the period was spirited on both ends of the ice.  Shots on goal favored the Monsters 16-15.  Milwaukee held the Monsters in their own end much of the last Monster power play.

 

The second period proved all Monsters.  Three unanswered goals and a Chris Stewart advantage on a fight translated to total domination for Lake Erie in what might have been their best period so far in this young hockey season.

 

 The 2-1 lead came via Derek Peltier goal with assists by T.J. Hensick and Per Ledin.  Brian Willsie score his fifth of the season and fifth in five games halfway in with assists to Hensick and Kevin Montgomery.  Finally, the 4-1 lead went in off the stick of Chris Durno three-quarters of the way through the period. 

 

Right after that fourth goal came the fight.  Chris Stewart and Kelsey Wilson squared off, Stewart landing the majority of the blows.
