Grand Rapids, MI--Goalie Tom McCollum stopped 32 shots to lead the Grand Rapids Griffins to a 6-2 win over the Admirals Wednesday night.
Milwaukee finished the season series against the Griffins with a record of 3-5-1-1.
Anthony Mantha gave the Griffins a 1-0 lead at 4:36 of the first period when he blasted a slapshot from the top of the right circle into the net for a power play goal.
The Griffins made it 2-0 when Andy Miele deflected a Brennan Evans shot from the left point past Admirals goalie Magnus Hellberg at 11:16 of the first period.
Milwaukee used a Colton Sissons deflection to get on the scoreboard at 16:50 of the first period. Defenseman Taylor Aronson's pass to the slot was deflected to Johan Alm at the left point. Alm sent a wrist shot to the goal and Sissons deflected it into the goal for his 24th tally of the season.
