After a week off, the Admirals play in Winnipeg versus the Moose. The Ads have won 6 in a row.
Ozzy will be playing tonight, after missing a game.
Last year, the Ads won 5 of 8 games versus the Moose, 3 of those on the road.
The western Canadian Matt Murray will be in goal, seeking his 5th win of the season, with .940%
The Admirals have 14 Canadian born players on the roster this year. I expect a good effort.
Karl Taylor mentioned that the Ads have been winning 47% of face offs. He wants that to be 55%.
The other starters were Jake Livingstone and Kevin Gravel on defense. Lucchini centers Vinnie Hinostroza with Reid Schaefer on the left wing. Lucchini is wearing an A in place of Del Gaizo.
Schaefer (5) scores 7 minutes into the game on the blocker side, Hinostroza (8) gets his AHL leading 12th point (7 game point streak) and Lucchini (4) had the second assist.
In the last 10 seconds, Kieffer Bellows (4) scored a PPG with assists to Fedor Svechkov (2) and Vinnie Hinostroza (9) to make it 2-0 Admirals.
Milwaukee gets another PP carrying over to Period 2. The SOG were 10-8 Moose. The Moose were 0 for 3 on the PP. The Ads were 1 for 2 so far, with a 1:50 still coming in Period 2.

The Moose scored a shorty to make it 2-2. On the NEXT face off, Reid Schaefer (6) scored an unassisted PPG backhander over the glove to make it 3-2 Ads.
That was Milwaukee's second PPG of the game with 7:15 remaining in Period 2. (This is the first time this season in eight games that Milwaukee has scored two PPGs in a game.) The SOG were 10-8 Moose again. The totals are 20 to 16, so far.
