Trailing the Admirals 4-3 after Rem Pitlick's power play goal at 10:15 of the third period, the Monsters got a pair of late goals to win for the second straight game. Dillon Simpson fired a shot from the left point and through a screen at 16:22 to tie the game, and Adam Clendening's point shot through traffic on the right side at 18:16 lifted the Monsters to the victory.
