Last night the Lake Erie Monsters advanced to the second round of the AHL playoffs, defeating the Rockford Ice Hogs in a sweep, beating Rockford 5-2, 5-1, and 5-3. Josh Anderson finished the series with a hat trick in Game 2, and a Power Play goal in Game 3 to spark the Monster's to the series win in the five game series. The next round becomes seven game series.
Joonas Korpisalo was very solid in net, which is a great thing to see for the Blue Jackets organization. Another really good thing to see was the play of Anton Forsberg down the stretch for Lake Erie.
