The Monsters will face 15 opponents this year, including two teams from the Western Conference’s Central Division in the Milwaukee Admirals (Nashville Predators affiliate) and Texas Stars (Dallas Stars affiliate). Cleveland will also compete against each of their North Division rivals, five Atlantic Division foes in the Charlotte Checkers, Hershey Bears, Lehigh Valley Phantoms, Providence Bruins and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, and two additional teams from the Central Division, the Chicago Wolves and Grand Rapids Griffins.
