Despite being outplayed for most of the game, this one is going to be long remembered as the one that got away. The Griffins led after one and had several opportunities to tie the game after falling behind including a pair of failed penalty shots, but just couldn't get it done. Gustav Nyquist scored his 5th of the season as the lone tally for GR, while Pearce deserved a better fate, taking the loss on a 24 save outing. 

Nyquist ripped a shot from the slot that was in and out of the net before anyone reacted. Immediately following the goal there was a confab going on at the Admirals bench that looked to be an issue with the lineup card. After that was addressed with both benches, play continued. Tatar and Andersson had a great 2-on-1 while shorthanded, but Andersson ran out of room to get a good shot off. Pare and Tatar look like they are starting to heat up, wreaking havoc in the offensive zone. Shots on Goal: GR 7 - Mil 9. 

Milwaukee struck early when Latta snuck a low shot just inside the post to tie the game at one. Ryan made it 2-1about a minute later, banging a loose rebound in the crease behind Pearce. Great individual effort by Conner to steal the puck for a great scoring chance before he was interfered with. He was awarded a penalty shot but didn't get much if a shot off. Exelby smoked Ryan along the boards and is looking mad. The Griffins powerplay has gone cold again with no shots in back to back man advantages. Exelby challenged Ford and came out much the worse for wear on that altercation. Shots on Goal: GR 6 - Mil 13.
