Shortly after, Brian Bowen continued his hot streak to make it 2-0 going into the first intermission. After Maine added a goal of their own in the second period, Bowen capitalized off a turnover to score his second of the game and fifth shorthanded goal of the season for Norfolk.
In the third period, six total goals were scored. Maine made it 3-2 then Eric Cooley, who played his first game back since returning from Chicago, made it 4-2 in the middle of the third period. The Mariners would score two goals to tie the game up at four.
With Maine controlling momentum, Mathieu Roy changed the momentum by scoring his 11th goal on the season to make it 5-4. Bowen added an empty-net goal for the hat trick and the Admirals skated away with a thrilling 6-4 win. Bowen’s hat trick was his first of the season.
The Admirals will face off against the Mariners tomorrow at 6:00 pm (EST). Pregame coverage begins at 5:45 on the Admirals Broadcast Network (FloHockey & Mixlr)
