The Ontario Reign hosted the Lake Erie Monsters in Game 1 and Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals Saturday and Sunday night at Citizens Business Bank Arena with the Monsters escaping with a pair of wins and a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series.

In Game 1, forwards Sean Backman and Nic Dowd each scored a goal and an assist, but the Monsters erased a 1-0 second-period Reign lead and held off a two-goal third period comeback for a 4-3 victory. Monsters team captain Ryan Craig finished the contest with a goal and an assist. Box Score Highlights

The following night, Lake Erie jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first period with a pair of tallies 12 seconds apart off the sticks of Markus Hannikainen and Lukas Sedlak. Early in the second period, forward T.J. Tynan made it 3-0 on the power play before the Reign mounted a third-period comeback. Forward Paul Bissonnette netted his first goal of the postseason early in the frame and defenseman Kevin Gravel added another, but Monsters goaltender Anton Forsberg denied a late-game push for a 3-2 victory.
