The score stayed that way until the 9:07 mark of the third when Cole O’Hara halved the Manitoba lead with his first goal of the season. Jake Lucchini collected the rebound of a Reid Schaefer shot and dished to O’Hara at the top of the right and his shot along the ice got by Manitoba goalie Domenic DiVincentiis.
Milwaukee came close to tying the game several times and had nearly two minutes of an extra attacker with Chrona pulled at the end of the contest, but any hope was snuffed out by Walker Duehr when he scored an empty-netter with six seconds remaining in the game to bring the score to 3-1.
What's next:
The Admirals look to get back on the winning track as they host to the Texas Stars on Saturday night – 6 p.m. at UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena.
