Milwaukee scored the first goal of the game at 11:36 of the first period. Jachym Kondelik drove toward the goal and, with one hand on the stick, extended his arm to redirect a pass from Egor Afanasyev into the net for his fourth goal of the season.
The Admirals grabbed a 2-0 lead at 13:18 of the first frame. Kiefer Sherwood fired a shot from the left face-off circle past goalie David Tendeck for his 14th goal of the campaign.
