The former University of Alaska Fairbanks forward collected three of his points on the power play, with a goal and two assists. Citara has six points (two goals, four assists) in his last six games. 

McMullen Mania

In three games with the Admirals, he has two goals and an assist, including a power-play goal. Norfolk rookies scored five goals over the weekend: McMullen (2), Carter Kopri (2) and Citara (1). Admirals made their third trade of the early season this week, acquiring forward Ethan Strang from the Atlanta Gladiators in exchange for forward Brody Crane.  

The Pressure Continues 
Close games keep coming for the Admirals. Norfolk won two one-goal games over the weekend, including a 4-3 overtime victory Sunday against Trenton. The Admirals are 4-1-0-1 in six one-goal games this season, and three of those games have gone to overtime. 

A Familiar Face 
The Admirals will see some familiar names in Adirondack, including former fan favorite Brady Fleurent. Fleurent played three straight seasons in Norfolk, recording 74 goals and 95 assists for 169 points. He also tallied one point in a four-game stint with the Admirals in 2019-20.
