Goal Recap
A minute and 15 seconds into the second period the Stars would get on the board. Brent Regner fired the puck from the far wall. Roope Hintz redirected the puck towards Denis Gurianov who grab a piece of the puck before it went into the net.
Around four minutes later, Hintz fired the puck through Matiss Kivlenieks five-hole to give the Stars the 2-0 lead.
The Stars would extend their lead to 3-0 a minute into the third period. Justin Dowling sat just outside of the pileup in front of the net. Once the puck headed his way, Dowling fired it into the net.
The Monsters would finally get on the board almost six minutes into the third period. Dean Kukan would launch the puck from the left far wall to Miles Koules who was open near the right faceoff circle. Koules would fire the puck past Landon Bow into the net.
With less than a minute to go in the game, Sheldon Dries scored on the Monsters’ empty net.
