Monsters win in OT

CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - The Monsters third period problems continued on Saturday night at Rocket Arena.

Already with a reputation of coughing up big leads, they entered the final period up 5-2, only to see the Senators score three times to force overtime.

Dysin Mayo saved the day for the home team though. His tally at the 3:10 mark of the extra stanza would end it, sending the the Monsters to a 6-5 win.

Cleveland has now won five games in a row and have climbed to fourth in the North Division with 50 points. The 50 equals the total of 2nd place Syracuse and Toronto, those teams have the tie breaker on the Monsters because of one more regulation win.
