Saturday, Feb. 18 & Sunday, Feb. 19 at Norfolk Admirals | 7-3 L

It took 36 seconds for Danny Katic (1-0-1) to score the first goal of the game for the Admirals. The Admirals scored again at the end of the first period, this time Darren McCormick (1-0-1) scoring the goal. As a result of two separate Zamboni malfunctions, the ice could not be cut properly at the end of the first period, which resulted in the game being suspended until 2:00 p.m. the next day, Sunday afternoon. Upon resumption, Norfolk rattled off three straight goals in the first 4:35 of the second period. Worcester responded with three of their own before the end of the frame, including two from Quinn Ryan (2-0-2) and one from Anthony Repaci (1-2-3). The Admirals scored the only two goals of the third period, halting the Railers comeback and giving the game its final score of 7-3.
