MILWAUKEE - Daniel Carr scored the game-winning goal in overtime for the second consecutive game to lead the Admirals to a 2-1 OT victory over Rockford on Friday night.
By the numbers:
With just 27 seconds remaining in the extra session, Tanner Molendyk poked the puck down the boards in the Rockford zone, creating a two-on-one for Jake Lucchini and Carr. Lucchini shot the puck off the far pad of Rockford netminder Drew Commesso and right to Carr, who had a wide open net for his team-leading fifth of the season.
