Ozzy Wiesblatt’s first goal of the season was the only score for the Milwaukee Admirals as they lost a 2-1 decision to the Chicago Wolves on Saturday night, ending an eight-game winning streak.

The loss was the first since opening night in Grand Rapids, but Milwaukee won’t have to wait long for another win against the Wolves as they play a home game Sunday afternoon at Allstate Arena.

Matt Murray was impressive in goal for Milwaukee, stopping 35 shots, his most this season, despite his first loss of the season. Despite the loss, Murray has not allowed more than two goals in any of his six appearances this year.

It took over 47 minutes for the Admirals to take a 1-0 lead thanks to Ozzy Wiesblatt’s first goal of the season. With the Ads on the power play, Jake Lucchini sent a pass from the far backboard to a wide-open Wiesblatt in the slot and his shot beat Wolves goaltender Taniv Perets to the glove side at 7:31 of the third period.

But just eight seconds later, the Wolves equalized on the first play of the season through Justin Robidas.

The game stayed that way until Robida scored his second goal with just 6.5 seconds left in the third period. Robida deflected a Domenick Fensore shot from the point and went past Murray to stun the Ads and the 9,234 spectators at UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena and give the Wolves the victory.
