The Milwaukee Admirals won 2-1 in overtime on the road against the Grand Rapids Griffins at the Van Andel Arena on Saturday night.

The Milwaukee Admirals fell 3-2 in overtime against the Iowa Wild at the UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena on Friday night.
The Admirals started out strong with an early power-play goal but caught some unfortunate breaks thereafter. The Wild eventually tied up the game on a debatable no-call for goaltender interference in the first period. After exchanging goals one last time the Wild eventually prevailed in overtime on Sam Anas’ second goal of the night.
“We liked the way that we hung around and scrapped,” stated Milwaukee Admirals head coach Dean Evason after the game. “We played real good in the third period. Second period wasn’t so good. Obviously they played well, as well, but we weren’t disappointed with a lot of things that happened in that game tonight.”
The Milwaukee Admirals fell 6-1 on the road against the Manitoba Moose at the Bell MTS Place on Sunday afternoon.

And then the second period started and the Moose would proceed to outshoot the Admirals 43-33 and score six unanswered goals. It was rough. It has been rough. This game summed up the best of the worst for the Admirals as of late.

The Milwaukee Admirals lost 5-2 against the San Diego Gulls at the UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena on Tuesday night.
As far as rough outings go this game ranks pretty high on the 2017-18 season. The Admirals were outworked for the better majority of this contest and a late push from the leadership combo of Trevor Smith, Bobby Butler, and Harry Zolnierczyk is what prevented this from becoming the first time since 2005 where the Admirals were shutout in consecutive games.
“It’s a struggle for us right now to find offense,” Milwaukee Admirals head coach Dean Evason stated after the game. “We’re not generating a whole lot of five-on-five. We have to find a way to get more pucks to the net.”

The Milwaukee Admirals won 4-2 on the road against the Iowa Wild at the Wells Fargo Arena on Tuesday night.

The Milwaukee Admirals were shutout 3-0 against the Manitoba Moose at the UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena on Saturday night.
For the first time this season the Admirals have been shutout. Their power-play went blank from seven opportunities and timely offense on the part of the Moose extended their winning streak to six straight games.
“Certainly, the second period we have them four shots – and we’re down 2-0,” said Milwaukee Admirals head coach Dean Evason after the game. “For the most part we probably out-chanced them, their goaltender played well, but it’s one of the first time that we probably say we didn’t look like we were going to score. The offense let us down tonight.”
