Denis Smirnov doubled the Admirals lead 72 seconds into the middle frame with a powerplay snipe over the glove of Dryden McKay to make it 2-0 Norfolk heading into the 3rd.
Blake Murray and Danny Katic struck a minute apart in the early goings of the third to give the Admirals a commanding 4-0 lead.
Cale Morris turned away all 19 shots he faced in the contest to secure a shutout and a 4-0 Norfolk win.
