The last three games at the Gardens have ended in 3-3 ties. The two teams also skated to a 3-3 tie 10/25 at the Bradley Center.

VS. AMERICANS...Friday night, the Admirals take on the Rochester Americans in Rochester. It is the first of two games between the two teams this season. They meet again March 22nd at the Bradley Center. In their first two meetings in AHL history, the Admirals won at home and lost in overtime in Rochester last season.

VS. BARONS...Saturday night, the Admirals conclude their seven-game road trip when they take on the Cleveland Barons at the Gund Arena. It's the second meeting of the season and the first battle in Cleveland. The two teams skated to a 3-3 tie 10/18 at the Bradley Center.

ROAD WARRIORS...The Admirals have earned two points with a tie and an overtime loss through their first two games of a seven-game road trip.

DARREN TO BE GREAT...Despite missing the last three games due to injury, rookie Darren Haydar continues to lead the league's rookie scorers.
