After falling behind by two goals early in the second period, the Checkers got back within one and maintained pressure down the stretch, but ultimately dropped their second straight game to Cleveland by a 5-2 score on Thanksgiving Eve.
The Checkers’ winning ways at home came to a halt on Monday as the Cleveland Monsters pulled away in the third period to take a 3-1 win at Bojangles Coliseum.
The Checkers wrapped up their West Coast swing in dramatic fashion, riding a stellar performance between the pipes from Ludovic Waeber and a clutch moment from their captain to a 1-0 victory over the Gulls.
