CLEVELAND - In the sixth of eight head-to-head meetings between the two teams this season, Cleveland's Lake Erie Monsters fell to the Milwaukee Admirals on Saturday afternoon at The Q by a final score of 1-0. With the loss, the Monsters are now 21-15-4-3 overall this season and with a .570 points percentage, remain alone in fifth place in the AHL's Central Division standings.

After a scoreless opening period, Milwaukee's Stefan Elliott, a former Monsters defenseman, notched the game's lone tally on the power-play at 12:16 of the second frame on feeds from Taylor Aronson and Frederick Gaudreau. In a tight-checking final stanza, the Monsters failed to post an equalizer and ultimately succumbed to Milwaukee by a 1-0 final score.

Brad Thiessen fell to 3-2-2 this season in net for Lake Erie despite a strong 25-save performance, while Admirals goaltender Marek Mazanec improved to 11-8-3 by virtue of a 19-save shutout, his third of the season to date.
