Last night the Lake Erie Monsters opened their first ever third round playoff series by defeating the Ontario, CA- Reign by a score of 4-3. With goals by Sedlak, Anderson, and Craig in the second period, Lake Erie took a 3 to 1 lead into the third period. Ontario answered with 2 goals in the third to tie the game, but 19 seconds later Broadhurst scored the game winning goal off assists by Werenski and Emminger.
Most important for Blue Jackets fans was the fact that Anton Forsberg was in the net for the Monsters. Forsberg has had some ups and downs this year, and has struggled at the NHL level.
