GLENS FALLS – The Norfolk Admirals defeated the Adirondack Thunder on Friday night, 6-1, in front of 4,382 at Harding Mazzotti Arena. With the loss, Adirondack’s win streak ended at six games.
Norfolk scored the only goal of the opening period with 2:36 remaining as Grant Hebert tapped in a loose puck on the side of the crease after a good bounce. The goal was Hebert’s fifth of the year with assists from Brady Fleurent and Kevin Conley and Adirondack trailed 1-0 after 20 minutes of play.
The Admirals took a 2-0 lead in the second period as Chase Yoder fired in a one timer from the right circle past the diving Jeremy Brodeur. The goal was Yoder’s fourth of the year with helpers from Ben Zloty and Kristoff Papp at the 4:14 mark.
Kristoff Papp added to the lead on a rebound chance at 6:37 of the second. The goal was Papp’s 10th of the year from Josh McDougall and Grant Hebert to give the Admirals a three-goal advantage.
Adirondack responded on the power play to pull within two. After a Jeremy Hanzel shot was stopped by Isaac Poulter, the rebound kicked to Justin Taylor and he buried his 10th of the year and the Thunder trailed 3-1.
