"Just under three minutes in, Oasiz Wiesblatt, brother of former San Jose Sharks draft pick Ozzy Wiesblatt and Kasper Halttunen decided to set the temperature for the night with matching fighting majors. Not long after, Andreas Englund and Samuel Laberge joined the penalty box party with their own five-minute penalties. In the middle of all these penalties, including a pair of power-play opportunities, both goaltenders were called into action often."
"But with seconds left in the period, the ice finally tilted. David Edstrom, who the Sharks traded to the Nashville Predators for Yaroslav Askarov, found a loose puck near the net and buried it at 19:56, giving the Admirals the 1-0 lead heading into the intermission. It was Edstrom's first goal as a professional. Ryan Ufko and Jordan Oesterle picked up the apples, and suddenly all that early emotion translated into an actual scoreboard swing."
The Milwaukee Admirals beat the San Jose Barracuda in a highly physical, penalty-filled game in which San Jose was outgunned. Early fights set an aggressive tone as Oasiz Wiesblatt and Kasper Halttunen exchanged matching fighting majors, followed by five-minute penalties for Andreas Englund and Samuel Laberge. Both goalies faced heavy work, with Matthew Murray absorbing constant pressure and making many saves. David Edstrom scored at 19:56 of the first for the Admirals, his first professional goal. The second period featured multiple power-play goals by Zach L'Heureux, Daniel Carr and Wiesblatt, while Mattias Hävelid replied for the 'Cuda to keep it close.
