Phil Tomasino and Tye Felhaber each scored twice, Yaroslav Askarov made 14 saves and the Milwaukee Admirals tied an AHL record with their fourth consecutive road shutout in a 4-0 win at Manitoba on Saturday afternoon.
With their 16th consecutive victory overall, Milwaukee has tied the 1984-85 Baltimore Skipjacks for the fourth-longest winning streak in AHL history. The 2004-05 Philadelphia Phantoms and the 2018-19 Bakersfield Condors each won 17 in a row, and the 2011-12 Norfolk Admirals hold the professional hockey record with 28 straight wins.
Milwaukee, which has not lost a game since New Year’s Eve, has scored 65 goals and allowed just 23 during their 16-game streak. They are also the second team in AHL history to shut out their opponents in four straight road games; Norfolk accomplished the feat during the 2012 Calder Cup Playoffs. Milwaukee has gone 285 minutes, 8 seconds without allowing a goal on the road.
Saturday marked Askarov’s 12th straight winning decision in net. The 2024 AHL All-Star has a 1.64 goals-against average, a .938 save percentage and four shutouts during that time.
The teams meet again on Monday afternoon in Winnipeg.
