Josh Dunne also scored a pair of goals for Cleveland in Game 5, Alex Whelan extended his point-scoring streak to seven games with a goal, and Justin Pearson and Marcus Björk picked up two helpers each as the Monsters handed Hershey its first set of back-to-back regulation losses all season.

Jet Greaves stopped 33 of 34 shots on the night for Cleveland, and has allowed three goals in the last two games after the Bears had scored 14 times in the first three contests of the series.

Hunter Shepard allowed four goals on 20 shots before being relieved by Clay Stevenson, making his Calder Cup Playoff debut, at the start of the third period.
