MILWAUKEE – On his own figurine giveaway night, Yaroslav Askarov stopped 19 shots to guide the Milwaukee Admirals to a 4-2 victory over the Grand Rapids Griffins on Saturday night.
The win snapped a four-game losing skid for the Admirals and enacted a bit of revenge against the team that stopped Milwaukee’s team-record 19-game winning streak.
The victory upped the Admirals’ record to 37-14-1 and 75 points – increasing their lead over second-place Grand Rapids to 11 points with 21 games left in the regular season for Milwaukee.

The Admirals jumped out to an early 2-0 lead on goals from Liam Foudy and Phil Tomasino. Foudy struck first when he collected the rebound of a shot from Joakim Kemell and shoveled a backhand over prone Griffins goalie Michael Hutchinson 10:05 into the game.
Just over five minutes later, Tomasino picked up his third of the season as he was able to tuck the puck in short-side on the Grand Rapids netminder.
The Griffins cut the Admirals’ lead in half on a Carter Mazuer goal 4:36 into the second, but Juuso Parssinen would make it 3-1 with 2:17 left in the sandwich frame on a shorthanded tally. The play started when Reid Shaefer held the Admirals’ zone on a Griffins outlet attempt and passed the puck to an open Passinen, who fired a rocket over the shoulder of Hutchinson.

Judge Michelle Havas sentenced Gladney to 29 years in prison on Friday, April 17. He was granted credit for more than a year’s time served and further sentenced to 14 years of extended supervision.
Arrested in Arizona after years on the run, court records show Gladney has also been ordered to pay the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office more than $1,800 for extradition costs.
Homicide investigation
The backstory:
The shooting happened in May 2020. Investigators said Gladney was captured on video apparently arguing with the victim, his cousin, outside a Milwaukee convenience store near 21st and Meinecke.
“It’s all on video, and it’s devastating for that family,” the marshal on the case told FOX6 when Gladney was profiled on Wisconsin’s Most Wanted. “You have a family member that shot and killed another family member.”

Prosecutors said Gladney walked away but then returned with a gun pointed directly at the victim and shot him. The victim died from his gunshot wounds at a nearby hospital. Multiple bullet casings were found at the scene.
Gladney went on the run for years. He was arrested in Arizona in January 2023, years after he was charged.
