In powering their way into third place in a very competitive AHL Central Division, the Lake Erie Monsters have feasted on the middling to bad teams, and found themselves famished against some of the real contenders.
Such was the case last week, when Lake Erie continued its domination of the Chicago Wolves with a pair of home-ice victories and then managed to take only a single point in two road games against a tough Texas Stars side. Those five of eight possible points left the Monsters with a 26-17-5-3 record, which is still third in the Central and fifth place overall in the Western Conference.
