MILWAUKEE – Admirals netminder Ethan Haider made life “ruff” for the Stars as Milwaukee got back on the winning track with a 3-1 victory over Texas on Saturday night – the team’s first Sendik’s Dog Day of the season.
By the numbers:
Texas took an early 1-0 lead as Kole Lind scored on their first shot of the game 1:16 into the opening period, but that was all the Stars would get as Haider backboned the Ads defense, turning aside the next 22 shots and helping to kill off all four Texas power-plays.

Haider stopped 22 of the 23 shots he faced to pick up his first AHL win.
The Admirals would score the game’s final three goals beginning with Reid Schaefer’s first of the season at 11:04 of the first. Ryan Ufko carried the puck from the top of the right circle around the Texas net and had his wrap-around attempt denied by netminder Ben Kraws, but Schaefer pounced on the rebound and scored into an open net.
Jordan Oesterle’s seeing-eyed shot from the left point with less than two minutes to go in the first found its way through traffic and over the shoulder of Kraws to give the Admirals the lead at 2-1.
Jake Lucchini’s second goal of the week and third of the season at 6:59 of the second period gave the Ads some insurance. The play started when Milwaukee came 3-on-3 into the Texas zone and Cole O’Hara left a drop pass for Lucchini, and he ripped it blocker-side for a 3-1 advantage.

Milwaukee Bucks coach Doc Rivers after their loss to the Utah Jazz: “We were just, we played awful, didn’t play with any competitive spirit tonight. I thought the first group set the tone, I thought the first group came in. Everyone on the team in that group was trying to score. So funny, we had a shootaround today where the ball was moving, everything was second action.”
“At the end of the day, that’s on me to get them to play right.”

Only 30% of Milwaukee police supervisors live in the city. A new contract has an incentive

A new contract for Milwaukee police supervisors was approved by a city committee on March 20 and for the first time ever includes an incentive to reside in the city.
The Common Council Finance and Personnel Committee voted 4-1 to give police supervisors a 1% incentive boost for residing in Milwaukee proper. The resolution now moves to the full council.
The deal reached by the Milwaukee Police Supervisors Organization and officials, sets the salaries for police leadership between 2025 and 2027 and will in-part be paid retroactively.
The contract calls for a 2% increase year-to-year for 2025, a 3.25% increase for 2026, and a 3% increase in 2027.
MPSO didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
The Milwaukee Police Association, the union for the city’s rank-and-file officers, approved a four-year contract last year that gave a 14.25% raise and backpay.
Ald. Peter Burgelis voted in favor of the supervisors’ agreement at the committee hearing March 20 and he championed the first-ever residency incentive for sworn supervisors.
General city employees already have a residency incentive of 4%, but now police supervisors would also receive a 1% incentive boost for residing in Milwaukee.
According to Burgelis, only 30% – 81 of 269 – of Milwaukee police supervisors currently live in the city.
“This is the reset,” Burgelis said. “Since city residency was stripped by the Republican state legislature in 2013 and started in 2016, residency was treated as optional and irrelevant. If you serve Milwaukee, you should live in Milwaukee.”
“Residency drives better outcomes,” Burgelis added. “When employees live here, they understand the streets, the schools, and the stakes. That translates into stronger leadership, smarter decision-making, and more trust with residents.”

Utah Jazz vs Milwaukee Bucks: Recap and final score
With most of their rotation players out, the Utah Jazz likely expected to drop one to a Bucks team that played the roster meant to convince Giannis Antetokounmpo to stay in Milwaukee. Utah ended up beating the Bucks 128-96. Probably not the best thing for the Bucks to prove to Giannis that he can win there.
The best player on the floor was Ace Bailey, who scored a career high 33 points with 9 rebounds and 4 assists. Bailey is turning into a real weapon for the Jazz, who are doing everything they can to add one more top-8 pick in the upcoming draft. Bailey continues to get better and better every night showing more and more to his game. Not only is Bailey’s shooting getting more and more efficient, but he’s also showing great defensive chops with 3 steals and 1 block in this game. Not only that, his 4 assists are a sign of a burgeoning ability to playmake for others. Utah has a chance to win the lottery again after this season, but they appear to have a young star already from last year.
Ace Bailey wasn’t the only player to shine, Cody Williams is also improving night after night. He’s improving in all aspects of his game, especially with his scoring. Williams had 23 points in the first half and looked completely comfortable all night, scoring on the hapless Bucks. Williams was a fantastic 10/15 from the field and 1/2 from three, but also dished out 5 assists. Night after night, it’s getting clearer and clearer that Williams is becoming a core part of the future and a player that Utah was right to draft at #10.
Kyle Filipowski continues to show he can be a positive contributor, although he’s got to find a way to improve on defense. It may not be something he can ever do, but it’s the one thing that is going to keep him from being a consistent rotation player.
Finally, there has to be a huge shoutout to the Utah Jazz front office for finding some nice players from the G-League. Blake Hinson, who is on a two-way contract, has been a lights-out shooter for the Jazz, and tonight was no different. Hinson shot a blistering 4/7 from three, and it looks like something he should be able to replicate in the years to come. Andersson Garcia has had a nice defensive presence for the Jazz since joining. Tonight, he played all 48 minutes and played with high energy all game. I’m not sure that Garcia will be on the Jazz next season, but he’s proven he’s a player worth looking at and bringing into their development system. He could be a potential fit down the road.
It’s not a good night for the Jazz in terms of tanking for the lottery, it likely puts the 4-spot out of reach, but it was a night where you got to see the future of the Jazz in Ace Bailey and Cody Williams, and that future is looking bright.
