It took almost a full period of play before a goal was scored. With a little under three minutes to play in the first, the Rockford IceHogs notched the first goal of the night when Matthew Highmore banged in a rebound.
Highmore’s first period goal clearly amped the Monsters up as they scored four unanswered goals over two periods.
Almost two minutes into the second period, the Monsters tied the game at one.
