Cleveland Monsters News Release


TORONTO - The Cleveland Monsters fell to the Toronto Marlies 3-2 after five rounds in a shootout on Sunday evening at Coca-Cola Coliseum. With the shootout loss, the Monsters are now 3-1-0-1 and are currently in second place in the AHL's North Division standings.

Toronto's Marc Michaelis started the scoring at 12:16 of the opening period, but Cole Fonstad responded quickly with his first AHL marker at 12:37 off a feed from Josh Dunne to tie the game 1-1 for Cleveland after 20 minutes. The Marlies regained the lead in the middle frame after a tally from Joey Anderson at 6:18, but Dunne converted on a power-play chance at 11:35 assisted by Brendan Gaunce and Kevin Stenlund knotting the game 2-2 heading into the final intermission. Following a scoreless third period and overtime frame, the Monsters entered a shootout staying alive after Justin Scott, who appeared in his 265th career game for Cleveland breaking a franchise record, scored in the third round to force extra chances. The Monsters fell in the fifth round of the shootout after Mikhail Abramov recorded the 3-2 game winning goal for the Marlies.

Cleveland's Jean-Francois Berube made 38 saves in defeat while Toronto's Joseph Woll made 33 saves for the victory.
