Shots favored the Monsters 32-17 after two.

 

The third period was the Monsters undoing the last two games as they surrendered two goal leads both times.  Tonight they’d break down again, although it did take almost all of the third.

 

With 6:32 left in the game, Milwaukee pulled to within two.  They held the puck in the Monsters end for roughly a minute and a half before Kelsey Wilson scored, assist to Nick Spalding. 

 

Milwaukeescored again with 4:18 left, but the goal was negated on a goalie interference call on Josh Gratton.  The replay proved the official right as Gratton did push on Bacashihua just before the goal went by his left skate.

 

On the power play, the Monsters had a great odd man rush scoring chance that Macintyre stopped with a pad save, keeping the Monster lead at 4-2. 

 

The Admirals pulled the goalie with two minutes left, pressuring in the Monster zone.  The Monster’s Cuminskey took a bad interference call with :35 left on the clock, giving Milwaukee a two man advantage with the goalie pulled. 

 

The Admirals silenced the crowd with 3.7 seconds left on the clock with a goal by Cal O’Reilly.

 

The Monsters won the faceoff and closed out the game, albeit without excitement yet again in the third.  Had the one goal not been waved off, it would have been the third game in a row Lake Erie had surrendered a multiple goal lead in the third.
