After a lengthy holiday break, and a flurry of roster moves, Milwaukee finally returned to action last week to take on the Grand Rapids Griffins twice over New Years' weekend. The Admirals dropped both contests to a shorthanded Griffins team, relegating them to a 12-15-2 record. Their 0.448 points percentage is good for sixth in the Central Division as the calendar flips to 2022.
