The lone tally for Chicago (0-2) came from forward Jeff Prough, who made the score 3-1 at 8:05 of the middle frame. Left wing Tomas Pospisil picked the puck up after a turnover, circled behind the net and sent a pass to Prough who drilled a one-timer past Admirals goaltender Drew MacIntyre.
Milwaukee (2-0) got on the board first with a marker from left wing Mike Santorelli, 3:32 into the game. Matt Beaudoin fired a pass from the right circle to Santorelli in the slot. Chicago netminder Dan Turple made the initial save, but Santorelli gathered the rebound and slipped it in.
