The Thunder wasted little time getting ahead in the game drawing a penalty just two minutes in. Utilizing the power play, Patrick Grasso found the back of the net for Adirondack, giving them a one-goal advantage with 17:39 to play in the frame. The game remained scoreless for the next 20 minutes until Cody Milan found Elijah Vilio who buried a slapshot past the glove side of Jake Theut to even the contest at one apiece. Norfolk conceded another goal to Grasso, who garnered his fifth of the weekend with 12:30 remaining in the second period. Brett Van Os was able to get the tying goal with 7:36 left in the period. With time winding down in the game, Van Os came up clutch again sending a pass into the slot to Todd Burgess who redirected the pass to Tag Bertuzzi and found the back of the net to give Norfolk the lead. Bertuzzi has a team-leading eight goals on the season.
With their first series victory of the year, Norfolk is back in action this coming week as they host Toledo in a three-game set. The Admirals and Walleye face off Wednesday at 7:05 pm.
