3. It was a valiant effort, but the Grand Rapids Griffins' Calder Cup hopes are over.
They had the opportunity to tie their series with the Lake Erie Monsters at Van Andel Monday night, and it would have been their 3rd straight win. But it all came down to overtime, and it wouldn't end with a Griffins victory.
The Monsters win with a final score of 4 to 3, ending the Griffins' season.
