With an unprecedented three-game set featuring visits by the two tail-end teams of the West Division, the weekend had opportunity written all over it for the Milwaukee Admirals.

But with fifth-place Houston visiting at 4 p.m. today, all the Admirals have to show for their efforts so far is a 3-2 shootout victory over last-place San Antonio on Friday night. The Rampage threw a wrench in the Admirals' party plans with a 5-3 triumph Saturday afternoon at the Bradley Center.

Admirals coach Claude Noel didn't have to see the tape of the game to figure out how things unraveled for his squad in the third period. It was three mistakes, committed by his top two defensemen, that turned a 2-2 deadlock after two periods into a 5-3 rout.
