About the Admirals: The Admirals are starting to look like a shoo-in for the playoffs, which seem light-years away in April. But their play has been spotty at best. After their 2-1 overtime loss to Iowa on Wednesday night, coach Claude Noel said of his team, "We are an accident waiting to happen." How inconsistent are the Admirals? They have alternated between winning and losing in their last nine games.

About the Rivermen: The Admirals have had good luck against Peoria this season, winning four of their five meetings, including a 3-2 decision in their last meeting, Jan. 30 in Milwaukee.
