Milwaukee scored its first goal of the season, and first of the game, at 17:03 of the first period. Kieffer Bellows intercepted a neutral-zone pass and skated to the net. His shot was kicked aside by Wolves goalie Spencer Martin, but Bellows corralled the rebound. He then sent a pass on the left wing rim behind the Wolves net to O’Reilly. O’Reilly moved the puck to a wide-open Joakim Kemell for the goal from the front of the net.
The Admirals grabbed a 2-0 lead with a power play goal at 7:01 of the second period. Vinnie Hinostroza sent a pass from the right wing wall behind the Wolves net for Zach L’Heureux. L’Heureux then passed the puck to O’Reilly at the goalmouth. O’Reilly deked to his backhand and gently slid the puck past the outstretched left leg of Martin for the tally.
Chicago scored a power-play goal of its own at 13:07 of the second period to make it 2-1. Ryan Suzuki chased a loose puck which caromed out of the left corner into that circle and slapped a shot off the post and in for his first goal of the year.
Bellows scored his first goal of the season after receiving a breakaway pass from O’Reilly at 5:21 of the third stanza. O’Reilly intercepted a pass at the Milwaukee line and found Bellows streaking up the middle. Bellows snapped a wrist shot past the blocker of Martin.

“Due to COVID we got a little behind on some vaccinations. We just had to get back up to date for her to go to school,” said Jamil Bradley, who brought his daughter to the Milwaukee Health Department’s special vaccination clinic.
“Vaccinations are the kind of thing you don’t want to wait on. You got to do what you got to do,” added Bradley.
The Milwaukee Health Department says the event is to help families update their children’s school required vaccinations.
That’s why Henry Ahlers brought his son.
“It seems like he is needing the last one of the five,” said Ahlers.
The health department says vaccination rates among school-aged children have declined in recent years.
Only 75% of Milwaukee children meet the minimum immunization requirements.
“Vaccines are there to fight off a number of different things,” Ahlers added.
Health leaders say vaccinations required for school attendance are crucial for preventing the spread of highly contagious diseases.
Kids received vaccines for measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus, whooping cough, and more.
