Puempel scores Griffins lone goal...
January 13th, 2018
The visiting Lake Erie monsters got some payback tonight for last nights 4-2 defeat at the hands of their hosts the Grand Rapids Griffins. The monsters withstood four straight Griffins powerplays before finally getting one of their own and capitalizing. Netminder Joonas Korpisalo stole the game with a masterful 35 save performance, stopping everything including the kitchen sink except a fluky late goal by Matt Puempel. Thomas McCollum duelled Korpisalo to a scoreless tie through two before yielding a pair of goals in the third, finishing with 23 stops.
