As has been talked about ad nauseam for the past few weeks, injuries and call-ups have not been kind to the Milwaukee Admirals. They’re missing six of their top ten scorers to Nashville and have critical depth pieces—Jachym Kondelik, Spencer Stastney, and Markus Nurmi—out with injuries.
But somehow, someway, this rag-tag group has gone 5-4-1 in their past ten games and still sits atop the Central Division with 12 games remaining. Bolstered by trade deadline acquisitions like Isaac Ratcliffe, surprising tryout signings like Tye Felhaber, and the return of key cogs such as Jimmy Huntington, the Admirals are doing their best to win the division against all odds.
