NORFOLK, VA - In two East Division match ups this past weekend, the Admirals were unable to overcome early deficits, as they dropped a pair of 3-2 decisions. On Friday, October 14th, Norfolk fired 38 shots on net, but could not get the tying goal across as they fell to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. The next night, the Admirals made their first road trip of the year to Hershey. After the Bears jumped out to a 3-0 lead, Jim Henkel and Martin St. Pierre notched second period tallies to pull Norfolk to within one.
