Final Thoughts:
Admirals got off to a fast start, with Zach L'Heureux scored a brace. And that was all Troy Grosenick needed, although Phil Tomasino and Juuso Parssinen scoring goals helped.

For the Stars, they had a rough time getting the puck past Grosenick.

With the win, the Admirals force a Game 5 on Sunday Evening against the Texas Stars. The winner will move on to face the Grand Rapids Griffins, in the Central Division Finals.
