Lake Erie Monsters get first win on Elliott's goal in OT

Rookie defenseman Stefan Elliott scored his first professional goal at 3:24 of overtime to give Lake Erie the win.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Rookie defenseman Stefan Elliott scored his first professional goal at 3:24 of overtime to give Lake Erie a 3-2 win over the Crunch Saturday night, the Monsters' first victory of the 2011-12 season.

It was the second straight night the two teams played overtime. The Crunch won on Friday, 4-3.

The Monsters opened the scoring with a first-period goal from Adrian Foster, with assists from David Van der Gulik and Greg Mauldin.

Syracuse's Kyle Palmieri, who leads the American Hockey League with eight goals, scored in the second period to tie the score. It was Palmieri's third in two nights against the Monsters.

The Crunch went ahead, 2-1, at 10:39 of the third on a power-play goal by defenseman Nick Schaus.

Lake Erie answered with a goal by defenseman Cameron Guance with 2:22 remaining, with assists from Elliott and Luke Walker.

The 20-year-old Elliott, a second-round draft pick of the Colorado Avalanche in 2009, and Van der Gulik share the team scoring lead with four points (one goal and three assists).
