The loss sets up a pivotal game on Sunday, in which the Admirals can tie the Stars for the lead in the Central Division with 83 points apiece.
The entertainment began tonight before the puck even dropped. As the two teams came together for the opening faceoff, a couple of shoves were given on either side of the faceoff dot. This eventually led to a full-blown scrum, with the opponents trading facewashes and sly gloved punches.
