The Admirals improved to 3-0-0-0 for the 2nd time in their 11th year history in the AHL in front of 3,330 fans.
The Admirals scored three quick goals in 4:11 to open up the first period on Alex Stalock for a quick 3-0 lead. Paul Szczechura (2nd), Johan Harju (1st), and Chris Durno (1st) gave the Admirals an early 3-0 lead on five shots on goal. Carter Hutton replaced Alex Stalock, and the Sharks responded with two goals to close out the period. James Marcou stole the puck away from two Admirals defenders behind the Norfolk net and found Benn Ferriero (3rd) at the side of the cage at 10:58 to get the Sharks on the board. James Marcou (2nd) struck on the power play as he rushed down the right wing, used a defender as a screen, and sent a 45 foot snap shot past Dustin Tokarski at 13:59 to get Worcester within one goal. The Sharks trailed 3-2 after twenty minutes of play outshooting Norfolk 14-12.
Paul Szczechura (3rd) struck again at 2:39 to give the Admirals a 4-2 advantage.

The physical play picked up at the end of the period as Blair Jones hit T.J. Trevelyan with a high check and Chris Durno drilled Nick Schaus on a waved-off icing behind the Sharks net. The Sharks allowed a season high 23 shots against in the second period and trailed 5-2 after 40 minutes of play.
Norfolk scored twice more in the third period as Johan Harju (2nd) and Chris Durno (2nd) each scored their second goals of the contest as the Admirals continued to control the tempo of the game. T.J.
