This afternoon the Milwaukee Admirals returned to practice at the MSOE Kern Center. It was the first team activity out of the AHL All-Star break. The Admirals are gearing up for two-games this weekend which starts tomorrow night on the road against the Chicago Wolves at the Allstate Arena. That will be followed by the first of two meeting at the UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena against the Manitoba Moose. Those games are on Saturday and Tuesday.

These were the line combinations and defensive pairings utilized at today’s practice. You might notice straight away that the Admirals were practicing without Emil Pettersson and Cody Bass. I didn’t seek out any information on Pettersson but do know that Bass has been battling a nagging upper-body injury. I suspect we should know more on the matter of Pettersson closer to puck drop tomorrow night.

Ahead of tomorrow’s game we had the chance to speak with Milwaukee Admirals assistant coach Scott Ford as well as Anders Lindbäck, Tyler Kelleher, and Yakov Trenin. These were all of today’s interviews from an extremely cold UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena.
