The Cleveland Monsters defeated the Grand Rapids Griffins 2-1 in overtime on Saturday night at Van Andel Arena. With the overtime win, the Monsters are now 11-8-4-3 and are currently in fourth place in the AHL’s North Division standings.
After a scoreless opening period, Grand Rapids’ Kyle Criscuolo started the scoring at 12:53 of the middle frame to put the Griffins ahead 1-0. That lead held until 7:08 in the third period when the Monsters knotted things up 1-1 with a goal from Brett Gallant off assists from Jake Gaudet and Dillon Simpson that sent the game to overtime. Trey Fix-Wolansky was the Monsters’ overtime hero just 14 seconds into the extra frame, scoring the game-winning goal with a helper from Jake Christiansen and Tyler Sikura.
Cleveland’s Cam Johnson made 22 stops in the overtime victory while Grand Rapids’ Victor Brattstrom made 34 saves in defeat.
