Admirals Take Down Railers, 7-3

GAME STORY

In a game that was completed nearly 24 hours after it began, the Admirals took down the Worcester Railers, 7-3. Danny Katic scored just 36 seconds into the game to put the Admirals up early on Saturday night. The Admirals added one more goal in the first period from Darren McCormick to take a two-goal advantage heading into the first intermission. Due to zamboni malfunctions that led to unsafe playing conditions, the game was postponed until Sunday at 2 pm. Just one minute into the resumed game, Brian Bowen scored to put the Admirals up by three. A Worcester penalty led to an Admirals power play that would be successfully utilized. Todd Burgess found the back of the net just 1:53 after Bowen to give the Admirals a sizable lead. Griffin Lunn added one more goal for Norfolk before Worcester responded with three goals to finish off the second period. Leading five to three going into the final period, Norfolk was able to add a couple more goals to their lead.
