Manchester Monarchs prevailed in the AHL Calder Cup Eastern Conference Finals game 2 that saw the home team score the first pair, then give up three straight and the lead before scoring their own three in a row to go up by another pair heading into the final frame, and eventually seal an 11-goal outburst 7-4 for the 2-0 series advantage over Hartford Wolf Pack.
Michael Mersch(27) got a hat trick in the win and leads playoff scoring with 18 points, a +13 rating, 3 first goals and all rookies, very impressive stats for a first year skater.
