Milwaukee, WI—Anders Lindback made 32 saves in regulation and overtime and stopped two Chicago shoot-out attempts to guide the Admirals to a 3-2 shoot-out win over the Wolves on Friday night.
Many of Lindback’s saves belong on a highlight reel, including his Save of the Year candidate in the second period when he stopped Tomas Hyka twice in a row from point blank range to keep the game tied at two with less than a minute to play in the second period.
Then, after Justin Kirkland and Freddy Gaudreau scored for Milwaukee in the shoot-out, Lindback used all of his 6’6″ frame to make a pad save on Hyka to seal the victory.
The win gave the Admirals a split in the two-game set with the Chicago after falling 3-2 to the Wolves in OT on Wednesday night.
The Wolves got on the board first when a shot from Brandon Pirri barely trickled through the legs of Ads goalie Anders Lindback and into the net just 1:53 into the game.
Tyler Moy would tie things up for the Admirals later in the first when he stopped in the left circle and fired a quick wrister that beat Max Legace at the 10:15 mark of the opening stanza.
After Tobias Lindberg gave Chicago a 2-1 lead at the end of the first, Anthony Richard level the score when he was crashing the net and batted a pass from Emil Pattersson out of mid-air and into the Wolves net with just over 10 minutes to play in the second period.
