Hogs Split Season Series with Admirals after 6-3 Loss

Posted on by

MILWAUKEE—The Rockford IceHogs couldn’t complete a comeback despite bringing the deficit within one goal three times and fell 6-3 to the Milwaukee Admirals on Saturday night at UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena. Jaxson Stauber suffered his first loss since January 26 and his 14-game unbeaten streak ended. Michal Teply posted two goals for the Hogs in his first multi-goal effort of the season.

The Admirals controlled the pace of play in the first period, taking a 2-0 lead and outshooting the IceHogs 15-7. Egor Afanasyev scored first for Milwaukee after tapping a shot from the left circle that deflected in off Jaxson Stauber’s leg to snag an early 1-0 lead (4:50).

Totaling 42 penalty minutes, the division rivals combined for 10 penalties halfway through the hard-hitting introductory frame.

Extending their lead to 2-0 before the first intermission, Fedor Svechkov caught Joakim Kemell’s centering pass from behind the net and blasted a one-timer from the low slot past Stauber’s gloveside (18:42).

Former Rockford forward Carson Gicewicz was charged with goaltender interference only 16 seconds into the second frame, and the IceHogs went on the power play. With just two seconds remaining on the man advantage, Milwaukee netminder Yaroslav Askarov made a pad save to deny Colton Dach’s shot from the left circle, and Michal Teply netted the loose puck from the low slot to cut the Admirals’ lead to 2-1 (2:13).

Milwaukee scored again to make it 3-1 after Jordan Gross tallied a wrist shot from the top of the right circle that deflected behind Stauber after he made a blocker save (7:58).

Teply scored his second goal of the night to bring the Admirals’ lead to 3-2 after he was cross-checked in the crease into Askarov, and Isaak Phillips’ shot from the right circle bounced off of a sprawled Teply into the net (16:41). After the play was reviewed for goaltender interference, it was ruled a goal and confirmed the 3-2 score at the end of the second period.

The Ads stretched their lead to 4-2 to start the final frame when Reid Schaefer swiped the rebound from Marc Del Gaizo’s shot behind Stauber from the right edge of the crease (2:50).

Cutting the score back to a 1-goal game just over two minutes later, Phillips buried a wrister from the left circle over the shoulder of Askarov to make it 4-3 (4:54).

Pulling ahead 5-3, Kevin Wall tipped in Jordan Gross’ shot from the high slot from the low slot (12:50).

The IceHogs pulled Stauber at 18:22 in favor of the extra man, but Afanasyev tallied his second goal of the contest with an empty-netter to seal the Admirals’ 6-3 win (19:54).

Stauber lost his first game since January 26 after marking 31 saves on 36 Milwaukee shots, and Askarov bagged the win after saving 20 of 23 Rockford attempts.

MILWAUKEE—The Chicago Wolves wrapped up a four-game road trip by falling to the Admirals 5-4 in a shootout Friday night in Milwaukee.

Rocco Grimaldi had a goal and two assists, Max Comtois and Hudson Elynuik each added a goal and an assist and Cory Conacher also scored but the Wolves couldn’t hold off a Milwaukee rally. The Wolves did extend their points streak to four games with the shootout defeat to pull within eight points of idle Manitoba for the fifth and final Central Division postseason berth.

The Wolves struck first when Grimaldi scored just 4 minutes, 8 seconds into the opening period. The veteran forward attempted a pass that hit off a defender and bounced through the pads of Admirals goaltender Yaroslav Askarov. Ronan Seeley and Hudson Elynuik were awarded assists on Grimaldi’s team-leading 34th goal of the season.

Later in the first, Comtois extended the lead to 2-0 with the Wolves on the power play. Grimaldi found an open Comtois in front with a pass and the forward gathered the puck before beating Askarov to the stick side for his 18th goal of the season. Grimaldi and Cole Schneider had assists.

The Wolves kept coming and took a three-goal advantage into the first intermission after Conacher notched his eighth goal of the season in the waning moments of the period. The forward went to the net and buried a rebound off a Dominic Franco rush and shot. Franco had the lone assist on the play.

Milwaukee came out flying in the second and pulled into a 3-3 tie on scores by Tye Felhaber, Alex Campbell and Cal O’Reilly.

Early in the third, Elynuik put the Wolves out in front when the forward redirected a shot from Comtois past Askarov from in close. Assisting on Elynuik’s sixth goal of the season—and fourth in the last three games—were Comtois and Grimaldi.

Milwaukee knotted it at 4-4 on Ryan Ufko’s goal a short time later and won it in the fifth round of the shootout on Campbell’s score.

Keith Kinkaid (30 saves) suffered the loss in goal for the Wolves while Askarov (22 saves) earned the win for the Admirals.

With the loss, the Wolves fell to 22-32-6-7 while Milwaukee moved to 44-21-1-1.
