Springfield-Springfield Thunderbirds (30-25-2-4) met again with a defensive blockade in the form of the Milwaukee Almonds (32-20-4-6), which came out with a 4-1 victory on Friday night inside a soldier mass center.
Grigori Denisenko won visitors on the board on the first shot of the game at 4:01 of the first when he turned the Colten Ellis network and made a hand on the back of a stick and the upper part of the net to make it 1-0.
This turned out to be the only remarkable offensive moment of a first period to see only 13 combined shots and 12 savings by Ellis and Matt Murray on the other. The former Umass Porter denied the six Springfield possibilities, including a close offer by Samuel Johannesson in the closing minutes.
The T-Birds continued to find that a hard sled was made to force, but after the middle of the game, their power game continued its hot streak, as Nikita Alexandrov connected to a detour from a point by Matthew Peca fired at 12:22, tieing the score, 1-1, at the 18th season of Alexandrov.
Springfield had to deal with a strong impulse change immediately afterwards, as Peca was whistled by non -sports behavior. The T-Birds killed the following Milwaukee power game, but the Admirals appeared that offensive impulse in an output account when Onced Pvel marked a decline in Elis’s leg and the cage to turn it into a 2-1 marker at 15:12.
Ellis did everything in his power to keep his team inside his ears to tie the score, as he threw the right pad into a fantastic post-post savings on Leo Chase at the beginning of the third frame. However, the Admirals continued to push the problem and charged when Mark Friedman joined the rush inside the Springfield area and defeated Ellis about the blocker at 4:05 to push the leadership at 3-1.
From there, Milwaukee’s drowned defense swallowed most of Springfield’s opportunities the rest of the road, as Murray ended the night with 23 savings, including a 9 for 9 in the third. Ellis passed 34 by 37 at night, but it would not be enough. Joakim Kemell broke a personal drought of five games with a clean and empty account at 18:55 to finish the affairs.
The T-Birds go to the road for the first time in five games on Saturday, while visiting the Bridgeport Islands for a fall from 5:00 to total Mortgage Arena.
