Off the heels of back-to-back losses to the Chicago Wolves, the Milwaukee Admirals had a chance to rebound to end their October schedule. Instead, they dug their early-season hole even deeper.
In weekend tilts against the Wolves and the Grand Rapids Griffins, Milwaukee lost both, dropping to a 1-4-0 record. It’s their worst start to a season since 2001-02, and their first time losing four or more consecutive games in regulation since early February 2018. Here’s how they got there.
