Blair Jones [11], Chris Durno [12], and Michael Vernace [13] were the game's three stars.
Johan Harju [14] broke a 4 game pointless skid and a 6 game goalless skid. Radko Gudas [15] improved to +16 for the season with a +3 effort. He's tied with Chris Durno and now one plus behind AHL leader Mike Angelidis [16] of the Ads. That's right, three of the four league leaders in plus-minus are Norfolk Admirals.
Incidentally, rebranding your team in the middle of the season is odd. The Whale was the Hartford Wolf Pack a few months ago, if you were wondering.
