ROCHESTER, N.Y. – The Rochester Americans hosted the Cleveland Monsters on Wednesday night after coming home from 1-2 road trip. The Monsters would come out on top, defeating the Amerks 3-5.

Jacob Bryson made his season debut for the Amerks after clearing waivers from the Sabres – his first AHL game since February 20, 2021. Brandon Biro scored the first goal of the game, his eighth this season. Brendan Warren returned to the lineup after missing 16 games, and scored a greasy goal in front of the net. Lukas Rousek scored on the power play, and got an assist on Biro’s goal, getting two points on the night. Viktor Neuchev got an assist, and looked great all around despite the Monsters checking him relentlessly.

Jake Christiansen recorded a season-high in both assists (3) and points (4) while Luca Del Bel Belluz and Carson Meyer each tallied two points (1+1) for Cleveland. Trey Fix-Wolansky opened the scoring for the Monsters while Cole Clayton sealed the win.

Netminder Jet Greaves stopped 35 of the 38 shots he faced to improve to 12-3-0 on the season. His 12 victories are tied for the most in the league while his 15 appearances are tied for seventh-most.
