Lake Erie Monsters shore up their defense, post weekend sweep in Charlotte

Goaltender Thiessen leads the way as the youngsters begin to tune up defensive zone play

Last week, Lake Erie Monsters Coach Jared Bednar said one of the main things he's looking for from his club at this point of the season is to begin tightening up defensively.

We'll consider this past weekend a good sign of progress there.

Still lacking their two main goaltenders (Joonas Korpisalo and Anton Forsberg), the Monsters traveled to Charlotte for a pair of games against the division rival Checkers, and they came away with two victories in which they yielded a combined one goal.
