GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – Down two goals and severely undermanned in the third period, the Grand Rapids Griffins fought back for an exhilarating 5-4 shootout victory over the Central Division-leading Milwaukee Admirals on Saturday at Van Andel Arena.
With the Griffins having lost Matt Puempel to ejection and Turner Elson to injury midway through the second period, Filip Zadina hobbled off the ice during the first shift of the third and did not return, further depleting a group of forwards that was already missing the injured Carter Camper for a third straight game.
