The Admirals have now pieced together six wins in a row at the most crucial time of the season. But if you were planning on taking a sigh of relief, don’t. The bigger hill is still to climb: this week. Three home games against Chicago (92 - 1st place), Iowa (81 - 3rd place), and Rockford (76 - 7th place).
Milwaukee’s magic number is 10, with a 0.579 strength of schedule measure. The fourth-place Admirals have Texas (77 - 5 games remaining), Manitoba (79 - 5 games remaining) and Rockford (76 - 5 games remaining) hot on their tail.
