Admirals Fall to Griffins

Grand Rapids, MI— Goalie Trey Augustine stopped 25 shots to lead the Grand Rapids Griffins to a 4-2 win over the Admirals Friday at Van Andel Arena.

The loss dropped Milwaukee to 7-4-0-0. The Admirals, with 14 points, are still in third place in the Central Division.

Grand Rapids entered the locker room after one period with a 2-0 lead. Sutter Muzzatti scored a goal from between the circles at 5:20 of the first frame. Then, Dylan James scored a shorthanded goal at 11:45 to increase the Griffins lead to two. It was the first shorthanded goal allowed by the Admirals this season.

Grand Rapids forward Dominik Shine, who scored four goals in a game two nights earlier, added a power play goal in the second frame. Standing in the left circle, Shine snapped a rebound past Admirals goalie Matt Murray at 8:42.

Milwaukee’s power play struck for just the fourth time this season to get the team on the board. Cole O’Hara’s shot from the left circle went off a Griffins defender into the net at 16:10. It was O’Hara’s fifth goal of the season. Assists went to Joakim Kemell and Tyson Jost.

Noah Dower Nilsson scored into an empty net for the Griffins with 2:10 remaining in the game. But, just :16 later, Admirals forward Chase Bradley snapped a shot from the left circle into the net for his third goal of the season. Joey Willis recorded the lone assist.
