Colorado Eagles News Release
MILWAUKEE, WI - Milwaukee goaltender Yaroslav Askarov turned in his second-consecutive shutout, stopping all 26 shots thrown his way, as the Admirals swept their two-game set against the Colorado Eagles with a 5-0 win on Saturday. Five different Milwaukee skaters found the back of the net, while forward Mark Jankowski paced the team with four assists.
After failing to convert on a four-minute power play, Milwaukee forward Zach L'Heureux would get the Admirals on the scoreboard first, as he collected a rebound on top of the crease and flipped it into the back of the net, putting Milwaukee on top 1-0 at the 9:49 mark of the first period.
The lead would grow to 2-0 when forward Liam Foudy finished off a breakaway with a shot from the low slot that would beat Eagles goalie Justus Annunen with 4:34 remaining in the opening frame.
Still leading 2-0 as the puck dropped on the second period, the Admirals would add an early tally when forward Fedor Svechkov buried a wrister from the top of the left-wing circle, stretching the advantage to 3-0 just 1:39 into the second stanza.
The onslaught would continue when forward Egor Afanasyev fielded a pass at the top of the crease and steered the puck into the back of the net, giving Milwaukee a 4-0 lead with 5:08 left to play in the middle frame.
The Admirals would go on to outshoot Colorado 13-10 in the period and headed to the second intermission still leading 4-0.
Milwaukee would add one final goal to the scoresheet when forward Carson Gicewicz camped out in the slot and deflected a shot from the point past Annunen, putting the Admirals up 5-0 at the 10:51 mark of the third period.
The Eagles were outshot in the contest by a final count of 38-26, as Colorado finished the night 0-for-4 on the power play and 4-for-4 on the penalty kill. Annunen suffered the loss in net, allowing five goals on 38 shots.
