The Milwaukee Admirals won 1-0 against the Cleveland Monsters at the UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena on Wednesday night.

Right out of gates this game was a goaltending duel with two NHL-ready goaltenders leading their respective squads. Juuse Saros would stop all 27 shots he faced while Joonas Korpisalo stopped 29/30 shots. The lone goal came off the stick of Trevor Murphy in the second period and that’s all the Admirals would need as Saros earned his sixth career AHL shutout. The Admirals have now won three straight games for the first time since opening the season on a four-game win streak.

“We’ve played well on a consistent basis here as of late,” said Milwaukee Admirals head coach Dean Evason of the team’s recent run. “Fortunately we’re getting rewarded for it. We can reinforce that. But we really played the right way tonight. We weren’t great but we weren’t bad. We were just a really sound and steady group and got rewarded for it.”

“Harry has been outstanding for us all year,” said Milwaukee Admirals head coach Dean Evason after the game. “He’s been not only good on the ice he’s been real good off the ice. He has energy every day.”

The classic rivalry between the Admirals and Wolves lived up to the hype, as this one needed a shootout to decide a victor.
