AHL: Knights fall to Milwaukee
One of the busiest stretches of the Omaha Ak-Sar-Ben Knights' season got off to a sour start on Wednesday night at the Civic Auditorium.
Milwaukee scored three first-period goals and held on for a 3-2 victory in front of 1,810. It was the first game of a grueling schedule the next two weeks that has the Knights playing eight times in 12 days.
"We weren't ready to play, and I don't know why," Omaha coach Ryan McGill said. "They're pro hockey players, and it's inexcusable the way we came out there tonight."
The second-place Knights (17-9-2) missed an opportunity to pick up two points on idle Chicago. Omaha trails the Wolves by six points in the AHL's West Division while the fourth-place Admirals (14-11-2-2) closed within four points of the Knights.
