Matthew Wood scored his first professional goal as well in the contest and Ryder Rolston, Daniel Carr, and Kyle Marino also lit the lamp for Milwaukee, who improved to 14-8-1-1 in home openers since joining the AHL in 2001.

The Admirals trailed by a goal heading into the third, but dominated in the game’s final period, out shooting Texas 14-5 and scoring three times. L’Heureux tied the game at three at 12:42 of the third when his shot barely trickled past Texas net minder Remi Poirier and over the goal line.

Carr, who is back in Milwaukee after playing for the team in 2019-20, picked up the game-winning goal on the power-play with 2:22 left in the game. Ryan Ufko eluded two Texas defenders on the way to the net and after his initial shot was stopped, he passed to Carr, who scored top shelf for his first of the season.
