The Checkers kept their winning ways going against Cleveland, fighting off a late push from the Monsters and earning a hard-fought 4-2 victory.
After surrendering a power-play tally in the early moments of the first, the Checkers rebounded in a big way with three unanswered strikes of their own.
Logan Hutsko was a driving force of that offensive push, as the rookie forward lit the lamp to even the score late in the opening frame and then set the stage for each of the following two tallies to finish the night with a team-best three points on the board.
The Monsters made a final push in the third, narrowing Charlotte’s lead to one with another goal on the man advantage, but the Checkers locked things up down the stretch and tacked on an empty-net dagger to wrap things up. Spencer Knight continued his strong play between the pipes, ending the night with 26 saves and freezing out Cleveland for a 4-2 victory.
