Toronto, ON— Forward Alex Steeves scored with 4:29 remaining in regulation to lift the Toronto Marlies to a 3-2 win over the Admirals Tuesday at Coca-Cola Coliseum.

The loss was Milwaukee’s second straight, dropping the Ads to 1-2-0-0 on the season.

Steeves fired the puck from the right circle past the glove of Ads goalie Troy Grosenick at 15:31 of the third to give the Marlies the game-winner.

The Marlies scored a pair of first period goals in a span of 1:17 to grab a 2-0 lead after the first twenty minutes. Nick Abruzzese received a feed near the crease from Ryan Tverberg and directed the puck into the goal at 7:57 of the first frame. Kyle Clifford converted after receiving a feed in the left circle at 9:14 to give Toronto the 2-0 advantage.

Milwaukee tied the score in the second period with a pair of goals. First, Joakim Kemell forced a turnover in the Admirals zone and skated out with Denis Gurianov on a 2-on-1 break. Kemell fed a pass to Gurianov in Toronto’s left circle and Gurianov tapped it right back for Kemell to shoot into an open net for his first of the year at 8:42.

Forward Zach L’Heureux scored his first professional goal at 19:24 of the second period. Mark Jankowski fed a pass from the left wing boards into the right circle. L’Heureux reached back to receive the pass, spun counter-clockwise and lifted a backhander over the glove of Toronto’s goalie. Anthony Angello was also awarded an assist.
