TFW from Mateychuk and LDBB. PP goal, tied at 1.

And we give it right back. 2-1.

 

[Monstershockey]

McKown from Svozil, then Svozil from TFW and LDBB. Up 3-2 with a little over 6 left. Now on the PK.

 

[Monstershockey]

Svozil with delay of game with just under 2 minutes left. 6 on 4.

LaBate draws a penalty to erase the PP.

3-2 final. Nice win. Move back ahead of Laval for 1st place.

If Greaves is done in Cleveland, hopefully Tarasov can help if he makes it through. Idk if Sawchenko could handle the duties by himself

 

[Monstershockey]

LDBB with a nice set up for a goal. Too bad it was a Phantom goal. Monsters down 1-0 after first. Looking sluggish. Hopefully they pick it up a bit.

 

[Monstershockey]

TFW gets his 100th AHL goal. DBB and Hunt with assists. 2-2.

 

[Monstershockey]

Sawchenko sprung TFW on a breakaway only to miss and have it go the other way for a Phantom goal. Lose 3-2 in OT.

How has Ceulemans been? Looking at his stats it looks like he’s done some growth. I don’t have a lot of faith in his top end upside but if he can round into a 3rd pairing guy I don’t think we’d complain about it

He's been ok. Pretty much bottom pair with OJB-H. Hasn't stuck out bad or good, seems to be holding his own. I would put him under Svozil or Clayton ranking wise, above Knazko and OJB-H.

Mateychuk
Hunt
Bowey
Svozil
Clayton
Ceulemans
OBJ-H
Knazko

Svozil and Clayton about the same. Mateychuk and Hunt have been top pair since Bowey has been out. I was watching Monsters OT and Tony Brown mentioned Mateychuk was seeing 25 minutes per game. Basically Werenski's role only here. He will probably be up sooner than later, unless the plan is for him to play the whole year here. I thought his defense was spotty at first, but seems to have improved lately. Offence has cooled a bit, after getting points in 14 of 16 games, has one point in his last five. He had a couple nice defensive plays last night.

Is McKown going to amount to anything? I saw a highlight reel goal this week, and I wondered if maybe I was wrong about him. Then I saw it was his first goal of the season, so maybe I wasn’t.

It doesn't look like it. I was surprised, also, when I heard it was his first goal. Unfortunately he doesn't look like he is going to be much more than what he has shown.
