Milwaukee Musings: Shorthanded Ads Hold Steady

With the youth movement in Nashville underway, the Milwaukee Admirals remain severely shorthanded. Their top scorers are in the NHL and several key pieces—Jimmy Huntington, Jachym Kondelik, and Markus Nurmi—are injured. This group is down to just eight forwards on NHL or AHL contracts, with tryout players filling out the rest of the lineup.

But the blue line has remained steady, and the Admirals are getting reliable goaltending from both Yaroslav Askarov and Devin Cooley. With that help, Milwaukee went 2-1-0 last week to keep their spot at second in the Central. 18 games remain in the regular season, and they’re just a point behind Texas with reinforcements potentially on the way soon.
