Took a break from posting lines to update you on the game.

Monsters gave up two goals while I was typing the lines, but Collins tied it back up with his first pro goal.

4-4 late 3rd - 2:30 to go

Breakdown of last night's scratches

Injured: Milano, Thurkauf, Dalpe, Kivlenieks
Healthy: Siebenaler, Koules, Korostelev, Fortier, Gallant
Suspended: Clendening (eligible to return Saturday night)

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

Did not see Stenlund on the ice in the third period. Not sure if injured.

5-1 loss
'
'will post more later

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

Game went well until the end of the second period, when the Wolves scored a shorthanded goal with one second left. That seemed to break the Monsters mentally.

I don't know why they played Berube back-to-back nights when Kivlenieks returned to the lineup. Yes, he got the win on Wednesday, but did so giving up five goals.

Milano also returned to the lineup. You could tell he was still getting up to game speed. He's usually much better than this, especially at the AHL level.

lines coming in next post

With all of these forwards being scratched, look for someone to get sent down to the ECHL, especially if Stenlund is not injured.

Do they have enough powder blue practice jerseys for everyone if they keep everyone up in Cleveland?
