Recap : Monsters lose control of their playoff destiny

Another game, another night, another must win scenario for the Cleveland Monsters. After an overtime loss to the number one team in the league, the Charlotte Checkers, the Monsters were looking to put space between them and the Belleville Senators in the standings.

Things got hot and heavy fast. Thirty-five seconds into the game there was a hug scuffle in the corner after Justin Scott was boarded. The early power play fired the Monsters up a bit. Ryan MacInnis was the most fired up in those first few minutes of the game. He fired off shot after shot but Dustin Tokarski didn’t falter.
