The Iowa Wild broke open a close game in the final period and knocked off the Milwaukee Admirals 6-1 in the opening round of the AHL’s Calder Cup playoffs.

The Admirals dropped to 0-2 in the best-of-five Central Division semifinal series with game three set for Thursday night at Panther Arena.

The Admirals finished the night 0-for-4 on the power play, while Iowa was 1-for-4.  Former Wisconsin Badger Luke Kunin scored a pair of goals for the Wild.

The Admirals need to win three straight to win the series.  All three games are in Milwaukee, but the Admirals need to win the first on Thursday night to get another shot.

Renovations and upgrades to Milwaukee Panther Arena will begin this Monday, June 20th in anticipation of the 2016-17 Milwaukee Admirals season, their first at the arena since 1986-87.

Adam Payerl scored the Admirals’ only goal late in the first period, and Grand Rapids scored three times in the second to hand Milwaukee its seventh straight post season defeat.

The Griffins entered the playoffs with a five game losing streak, and they advanced to the second round with three consecutive victories in their best of five series.

Milwaukee scored just three goals in the entire series, as Grand Rapids goaltender Tom McCollum had a .968 save percentage for the three contests.

Milwaukee Admirals logoThe Milwaukee Admirals face elimination tonight, trailing the Grand Rapids Griffins two-games-to-none in the American Hockey League playoffs.

The Admirals are 18-31 all-time in elimination games, including a 9-11 mark since joining the AHL in 2001.

The Admirals scored just one goal in each of the first two games in the series.  Milwaukee has now gone 13 straight postseason games scoring two or fewer goals.  The last time the Admirals scored more than two goals in a playoff game was May 7, 2011 in a 5-4 overtime win over Houston in the West Division Semifinals.

The Admirals need a win tonight just to get to a game four in Grand Rapids.

Admirals extend point streak

Milwaukee Admirals logoThe Milwaukee Admirals have tied a team-record for their longest point streak with a 3-1 home ice victory over the Chicago Wolves on Tuesday night.

Trevor Murphy scored the game-winner with more than four minutes to play.  Max Reinhard had one goal and one assist and Juuse Saros had 28 saves in goal.

The Admirals have now scored at least one team point in their last 13 games, something they haven’t done in 23 years.  The streak includes eleven wins and two shutout losses, and they’ve won their last seven games.

The Admirals have clinched the American Hockey League’s Central Division crown and they still have an outside chance of winning the Western Conference title.  Ontario can secure that distinction with two points in their final two games.

Pontus Aberg scored twice for the Admirals and Juuse Daros had 31 saves as Milwaukee won their sixth straight game and extended their current team points’ streak to 12 contests.

The Admirals also guaranteed themselves home-ice advantage for at least the first two rounds of the Calder Cup Playoffs, which start next week.

Milwaukee has 95 points, seven more than Grand Rapids, Rockford and Lake Erie which are all tied for second.

The Admirals, who clinched a playoff spot last weekend, have 45 wins for the first time in seven years.
