The Rockford IceHogs kicked the scoring off with 6:07 left to play in the first period. Tyler Sikura was posted near the crease with no defender there to stop him from scoring.
Thirty seconds later, Eric Robinson fired off a shot from the faceoff dot directly into the net to tie things up for the Monsters.
Mere moments later the Monsters took the 2-1 lead over the IceHogs.
