Trois-Rivieres, QC - The Norfolk Admirals and Trois-Rivieres Lions met for the ninth time in the regular season on Saturday afternoon, with Norfolk holding off Trois-Rivieres late in the third period to pick up a 3-1 victory.

In the second period, the Admirals continued to attack on Jones and the Lions defense. Then, at the 4:24 mark of the period, Brandon Osmundson solved Jones for his 17th of the season to give Norfolk a 1-0 lead.
Five minutes later, Filip Fornaa Svensson scored his team-leading 23rd of the season to give the Admirals a 2-0 edge. Darick-Louis Jean picked up the lone assist on the goal.
The Admirals had outshot the Lions at the end of 40 minutes, 21-16.

Milic finished the day with 30 saves in the victory.
