Milwaukee, WI–The Admirals lost for the third straight game as they fell 5-2 to the San 
Diego Gulls on Tuesday night at Panther Arena.
The game was Milwaukee’s lone home game in a three week span.
San Diego got on the board first when Julius Nattinen’s shot deflected off of Milwaukee’s Trevor Murphy’s stick and into the Admirals net.
The Gulls made it 2-0 on a Sam Carrick power-play goal with just 1:17 to play in the first and that was all San Diego goalie Reto Berra would need.
After Kalle Kossila put the Gulls up 3-0, Admirals Captain Trevor Smith got the team on the board with a rebound goal off of a Murphy shot. The goal broke a scoreless streak of 120:28 that dated back to their game last Friday night against Wilkes-Barre Scranton.
San Diego regained their three-goal cushion with Eric Fehr’s third goal of the season at 13:53 of the third.
Milwaukee made it interesting as a Bobby Butler slapper from the right point got by low glove side with 1:04 to play. But on the ensuing face-off San Diego scored into an empty net to make it a 5-2 game.
The Admirals will look to snap their skid on Saturday afternoon when they travel to Winnipeg for the first of two straight against the Moose.
