In the third meeting of the season series, the Monsters took away a deserved two points in regulation as the Marlies conceded five or more goals for the seventh time this season.
First Period
The opening frame featured the Marlies‘ best 20 minutes of the game. However, they were undone by a combination of less-than-stellar goaltending, poor defensive coverage, and a lack of finish in front of goal.
Semyon Der-Arguchintsev and Alex Steeves tested goaltender Daniil Tarasov, but no player in blue crashed the net on either occasion to pick up the second opportunities available.
