In a matchup between the top two teams in the Central Division, it was the home side Admirals taking the first of two against the Texas Stars by a final of 5-4 from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, this evening. The Stars had some great pushback throughout the game, coming back from deficits twice in the game to tie things at two, go ahead by one and further to tie things at four. The true back breakers were two shorthanded goals against.
Ultimately, the offensively-charged contest pushed the Admirals to a six-point lead for the division crown. Texas led at the turn of the calendar but has squandered their advantage with a 1-5 record, including a 1-3 home record.
