MARINERS FALL A GOAL SHORT IN NORFOLK

NORFOLK, VA – November 27, 2024 – Despite netting two goals over the final 6:25 of regulation, the Maine Mariners fell 4-3 to the Norfolk Admirals on Wednesday night at Scope Arena. Jimmy Lambert, Brooklyn Kalmikov, and Xander Lamppa scored goals for Maine.

Just :59 into the game, Norfolk’s Pavel Padakin deflected Josh McDougall’s point shot past Ryan Bischel to give the home team the quick lead. Maine countered with a power play goal at 16:22 to tie things up as Jimmy Lambert’s attempted pass took a hard carom off an Admirals skate near the point and all the way into the net. With 45 seconds left in the frame, Denis Smirnov put Norfolk back ahead, one-timing a Carson Musser pass in the right wing circle.

Still a 2-1 game after 40 minutes, Norfolk’s Ben Zloty put home a power play goal at 7:14 of the third to stretch Norfolk’s lead to a pair, potting a rebound off the end boards. Brooklyn Kalmikov got loose on a breakaway and cashed in his fifth goal of the season at 13:35 to pull Maine back within a goal. Keegan Osmundson’s empty netter for Norfolk at 18:28 would prove to be the game-winning-goal after Maine’s Xander Lamppa put home a rebound for his first goal of the season with 33 seconds to play.

Domenic DiVincentiis improved to 3-0 as an Admiral with a 17 save effort. Bischel stopped 18/21 in the loss for Maine.

The Mariners (6-9-0) and Admirals will resume their series on Friday with another 7:05 PM start, before finishing up on Saturday night.
