CLEVELAND - The Cleveland Monsters, proud American Hockey League affiliate of the NHL's Columbus Blue Jackets, were defeated by the Manitoba Moose in front of 11,577 fans on Friday at The Q by a final score of 4-2. With the loss, the Monsters fell to 14-25-4-3 overall this season and with a .380 points percentage, remain alone in seventh place in the AHL's Central Division standings.

The Monsters grabbed a 1-0 lead on Friday when Alex Broadhurst knifed an even-strength goal past Manitoba backstop Jamie Phillips at 7:46 of the opening period, thanks to helpers from Terry Broadhurst and Ryan Collins. In the middle frame, the Moose tied the game with an even-strength Sami Niku goal at 8:30 before Darren Kramer beat Cleveland backstop Joonas Korpisalo with a five-on-five finish at 13:03 to make it 2-0 Moose. Then, Manitoba tacked an even-strength Chase De Leo tally at 14:33 to take a 3-1 lead into the final period of play.

Cleveland drew within one at 6:49 of the third period when Carter Camper buried a power-play chance on feeds from Zac Dalpe and Alex Broadhurst, but the Moose sealed a 4-2 win with an empty-net goal from Cam Maclise at 18:08. Korpisalo fell to 2-4-1 in net for Cleveland despite stopping 16 of the 19 pucks he faced while Phillips improved to 2-1-0 between the pipes for Manitoba by virtue of a 31-save performance.
