With just 21 games remaining in their season, Milwaukee went 2-0-1 last week, including a big shootout win over the division-best Chicago Wolves. The Admirals have a similar week ahead, traveling to Chicago, then hosting Texas, and then traveling back to Rockford.
While catching second-place Manitoba seems unlikely, Milwaukee, which has just a +1 goal differential this season, will need another winning week to expand their lead on Grand Rapids for third in the Central.
