The first period featured lucky bounces and power-play goals for both teams as they combined for six goals. Milwaukee scored the first goal at 4:47 when he skated with the puck from the left circle into the slot and ripped a shot past IceHogs goalie Mitchell Weeks. It was Rolston’s seventh goal of the American Hockey League season and his sixth goal with the Admirals. Joakim Kemell and Chad Nychuk picked up the assists.

Rockford tied the game at 1-1 when Cavan Fitzgerald dumped the puck from the neutral zone off the left wing glass. The puck took a bad hop off a stanchion and dribbled into the net past Ads goalie Magnus Chrona at 10:48.

The IceHogs stretched the lead to 2-1 when Brett Seney deflected a shot from the left wing boards past Chrona at 12:20.

Athanasiou built Rockford’s lead to 3-1 with a power play goal at 12:33 of the first period right off the face-off. That was the last shot Chrona faced for the evening as he was replaced by Ethan Haider.

Haider, who had been recalled by Milwaukee from ECHL Atlanta on Fri., Jan, 31, made his AHL debut and stopped all six Rockford shots taken against him in the first frame.

The Admirals’ offense started to move. The team went on the power play for the first time at 14:55 when Dmitry Kuzmin went to the box for hooking. During the power play, Kemell loaded up to shoot from the right circle. As the IceHogs raced to defend him, Kemell slid a pass through the slot to Anders Bjork, and he snapped it into the goal for his third of the season at 16:14. Spencer Stastney also picked up an assist one the tally.

Milwaukee tied the game 3-3 at 19:15 of the first period when Jake Lucchini, from the right corner, sent the puck to the crease looking for Ozzy Wiesblatt. The puck bounced into the net off defenseman Fitzgerald for Lucchini’s 11th marker of the year. Wiesblatt and Stastney recorded the helpers.

After six first-period goals, only one was scored in the second frame. Milwaukee’s Ondrej Pavel had the puck on the right wing boards. His initial shot was blocked back to him so he skated to the face-off dot and whipped the shot inside the opposite post for his second goal in as many games. Kyle Marino and Ryan Ufko assisted.

The IceHogs tied the game 4-4 at :41 of the third period when Samuel Savoie tapped a behind-the-back pass from Athanasiou into the net.

Haider stopped 22 of 23 shots in his AHL debut and took the shootout loss.

What’s next:

The Admirals return to action on Friday, Feb. 7. The team hosts the Grand Rapids Griffins at UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena.

Brewers opener arrives amid I-94 construction delays, traffic concerns

MILWAUKEE – With Milwaukee Brewers baseball returning to American Family Field, fans and officials are preparing for heavy traffic tied to ongoing freeway construction near the stadium.

What we know:

American Family Field sits in the center of the I-94 East-West freeway project, where lane closures and traffic shifts have been in place since November 2025 as crews work to address deteriorating road conditions, traffic demand, high crash rates, and aging bridge design.

With thousands of fans expected for Thursday’s home opener, March 26, both state transportation officials and team leaders say delays will likely increase.

Officials say traffic patterns around the stadium may take time to adjust as construction and the baseball season overlap.

Local perspective:

“You always get stuck in traffic around this place,” said Max Larsson, a Brewers fan. “Go earlier. There’s always traffic with the construction going on and with it being Opening Day, it’s going to be even worse.”

“It’s going to be a mess. There’s no doubt about that,” said Mike Fleming, a Brewers fan. “It’s going to be a lot worse when the games are on.”

What they’re saying:

“Reopening some of that access around American Family Field. If you are going to the games next week or beyond – just add some extra time,” said Jason Roselle of the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. “There is a little bit of traffic shifting out there so it is going to take a little bit longer to get in and out of the stadium.”

Brewers President of Business Operations Rick Schlesinger said the team is taking additional steps to help keep traffic moving, including hiring three sheriff’s deputy crews and a tow truck to quickly clear disabled vehicles from the freeway.

“We’ve got three additional sheriff’s deputy crews that we hired who are going to help with traffic,” he said.

The team says it will be a learning process throughout the season as fans and drivers adjust to changing traffic patterns.

What you can do:

The Brewers also have a dedicated page outlining traffic routes and detours. More can be found at WisDOT’s website as well.
