The Admirals topped the Ducks in a hard fought, seven game series last season. It was the most games the Ads would require in a series on their way to the Calder Cup. Milwaukee trailed three games to two in last year's match-up before winning games six and seven at the Bradley Center to take the series.
Cincinnati took the season series from the Admirals five games to three. Ducks goalie Frederic Cassivi was particularly effective against Milwaukee, posting a 5-2 record with a 1.76 GAA, a .935 save percentage, and three shutouts. Admirals forward Simon Gamache was the leading scorer between the two squads, notching eight points (3g-5a) in the season series.
