Greg Classen scored the Admirals' second goal when he tapped in a stray rebound 3:05 into the final period. Panov earned his second assist on the goal.

The remaining 44 seconds saw the Griffins furiously swarm the Admirals net, but were repeatedly turned aside by Finley. Finley has stopped 46 of 48 shots in his two games against the Griffins.
The Griffins return home to play the Syracuse Crunch on Friday and Saturday nights. Both games are scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
