Monsters Mash: Sinking Ships and Suspensions

Record: 7-4-2-1, 17 points, .607 win %, 2nd Central, 5th West

The Cleveland Monsters started their weekend off with a bang beating the Milwaukee Admirals, 5-3. Hayden Hodgson stole the show with a backhanded shot from behind Juuse Saros’ skate. Carter Camper came out on top with three points in the tilt.

Recap here.

The Monsters would have some familiar faces join the squad on Saturday. Joonas Korpisalo, Sonny Milano, Zac Dalpe, and Gabriel Carlsson were sent to Cleveland.

Korpisalo helped the Monsters procure the 3-1 win over the Admirals. Yet again Paul Bittner and Miles Koules lit the lamps for the Monsters. These two are becoming unstoppable.

Recap here.

Korpisalo and Milano would return to the Jackets on Sunday. Carlsson staying behind turned out to be a good thing as Cameron Gaunce was suspended for three games due to boarding.
