WEEK IN REVIEW The Monarchs played three games against the Adirondack Thunder this past weekend and went 1-2-0-0 against the North Division Rivals.
Tuesday night, the Monarchs visited the Glens Falls Civic Center and came out with a 3-2 victory. The Monarchs scored the first three goals of the game, and hung on at the end to, at the time, take first place in the Eastern Conference. Alexx Privitera, Gasper Kopitar and Daniel Ciampini scored the goals for the Monarchs, while Sam Brittain won his third-consecutive game on the season.
The same two teams battled Saturday night, this time in Manchester. After an early goal by Ciampini, the Thunder scored three unanswered goals before Justin Gutierrez netted his 2nd goal of the year. Adirondack would go on to score twice more before Derek Arnold finished the scoring for the night.
Sunday afternoon, the Monarchs fell, 3-1, to cap the week-long series. The Thunder got on the board first and built a 2-0 lead before Joey Diamond scored the lone Monarchs goal. The Thunder went on to score in the third period to put the game away. Sam Brittain got the start in net and suffered his first loss in a Monarchs sweater.
