Lake Erie Monsters having a year to remember

The Lake Erie Monsters are quickly becoming the team to root for in Cleveland. The Monsters are the AHL hockey team played at Quicken Loans Arena in downtown Cleveland.

In their fourth season the Monsters have yet to make the playoffs or win over 34 games in one season. That is all beginning to change thanks to a fantastic season thus far.

After a five-game road trip,the Monsters returned home and beat the Rochester Americans 2-1. The win gave them their 38th of the season and 84 points, adding on to their record of most franchise victories in a season.

Shawn Belle and Travis Gawryletz helped Lake Erie win,each scoring in the third period.

However, the win also gave them a new franchise record for consecutive wins, which is now at six straight. Adding on to an already impressive resume, the Monsters are now sole possession of first place.

With nine games remaining in the regular season,the Monsters will look for the franchises first playoff appearance in team history.

The team continues play in Rochester Friday night for a rematch with the Americans. Lake Erie will try to continue what has already been a season to remember.
