Just 1:26 later, Admirals forward Ben Ryan scored his first AHL goal as he banged in a rebound of a Mark Van Guilder shot. Ryan Flynn carried the puck from behind the net to the right post before passing to Van Guilder for the shot. The rebound off Pearce went to Ryan at the left post for the putback and the Admirals lead at 2:31 of the second period.
Roman Josi scored a power play goal at 11:18 of the third period to close the scoring. The slapshot from the top of the right circle was Josi's first goal of the season and was assisted by Ryan Ellis and Puustinen.
