Recap


A couple great performances from two players playing their first games for the Bears this season lead them to another good win. Brandon Anderson, making his first career AHL start, continued where Justin Peters left off last night. Norfolk was able to get the first goal of the game at the 9:05 mark. Dave Steckel (a former Bear) scored his 2nd of the season, from Louis Leblanc & Nic Kerdiles. A little more than two minutes later, on the power play, the Bears tied it up. Nate Schmidt (in his first game for the Bears this season) scored his 1st of the season, from Tomas Kundratek & Casey Wellman. After the 1st, the Bears had the 10-9 shot advantage.


In the 2nd, the penalties picked up. Through most of the period, all of the penalties were being called on the Bears. However, at the 16:08 mark, Norfolk was called with one. 26 seconds later, the Bears took advantage of it. Nate Schmidt scored his 2nd of the night (and the season), from Tomas Kundratek & Casey Wellman (2nd assist of the night for both). With 25 seconds left in the period, the Bears increased the lead to 3-1. Casey Wellman scored his 10th of the season (3rd point of the night), from Nate Schmidt (3rd point of the night) & Jon Landry. The 3rd was filled with small chances, but none would go through in the period. The Admirals finished with the 31-30 shot advantage.
