Norfolk, VA - Over the holiday weekend, the Norfolk Admirals and Trois-Rivières played the final game in a three-game series at the Norfolk Scope in front of an enthusiastic crowd.

Carson Golder and Carson Musser both scored two goals each to help seal the win.

The momentum of the game shifted quickly to the visitor's side as they scored just six minutes into the game.

Stepan Timofeyev brought the puck into the zone and passed it to Ryan Foss for an easy open-net goal, making the score even with six minutes left in the period. Norfolk had a power play opportunity in the final minutes but could not capitalize on it.

Musser scored his first goal of the season for the Admirals just 55 seconds into the second period, bringing the score to 2-1. The momentum shifted back to Norfolk as they dominated the rest of the second period, outshooting the Lions by 14-6. Milic made some crucial saves through the middle frame and kept his team ahead.

With only 20 minutes left in the game, the Admirals were still leading with a score of 2-1. They continued their winning streak by scoring three more goals in the final period. Golder scored the first goal of the period, making the score 3-1, after the rebound from Mathieu Roy. Just four minutes later, Golder scored again, making it 4-1.

Musser also scored his second goal of the game from the top of the point. In the final moments of the match, the Lions managed to score a goal, with Jakov Novak making it 5-2.
