Cleveland Monsters; 13-21-4-3, 33 points, .402 win%, 7th Central, 15th West
vs
Iowa Wild; 20-13-7-3, 50 points, .581 win%, 3rd Central, 5th West
The Cleveland Monsters were the better team on Thursday night. However, their inability to play a full sixty minutes of hockey and keep the momentum in their favor is what cost the Monsters the game.
Tonight, the Monsters must play a full 60 minutes of hockey. Their heads must be in the game at all times and they need to keep the momentum in their favor.
Joonas Korpisalo, Dean Kukan, and Markus Hannikainen will be in the lineup for the Monsters tonight. Don’t get attached. They will be sent back to Columbus in time for the Jackets game on Tuesday night.
