ONTARIO, CA –
The Monsters lead the best-of-seven game series 2-0 and will face off vs. the Reign in Game 3 of the series on Tuesday at 7:00 pm at The Q in downtown Cleveland.
The Monsters opened the scoring at 12:28 of the first period when Markus Hannikainen potted his first of the postseason with a delayed penalty on its way, thanks to assists from Lukas Sedlak and Ryan Craig. Then, off the ensuing center-ice draw, Sedlak buried a two-on-one, even-strength wrist shot from the left faceoff dot to make it 2-0 Lake Erie on feeds from Michael Paliotta and Justin Falk.
