Monsters destroy Americans 9-2
The Cleveland Monsters continued their hot streak as they absolutely demolished the Rochester Americans by a score of 9-2.
Normality was not the word that can be used to describe the past few days for the Cleveland Monsters. Cleveland came into this weekend winners of 7 of 9, but a postponed game provided a bit more difficulty. Add in the subtractions of Kole Sherwood, Gavin Bayreuther, and Andrew Peeke, and things could have gone awry. Luckily for the Monsters nothing that happened over the past few days impacted them at all.
There are not many times that a team scores 9 goals, a new Monsters franchise record, but is just what happened for the Monsters Saturday night in Rochester. The 1st period was back and forth, but after that it was all Cleveland. The Monsters controlled the overwhelming majority of the game and the final score showed that.
Cleveland scored four times on the power play and it appears their woes in this are gone for the time being. This could be big moving forward as the Monsters currently reside in second place in the AHL Central.
