Eagles Face Admirals for First Time Since 2020.
Jan 14, 2022
The Colorado Eagles are home to take on the Milwaukee Admirals for the first time since March of 2020. The two teams were unable to play last year, as Milwaukee opted not to play the 2020-21 season.
Colorado and Milwaukee faced off four times during the 2019-20 season before it was cut short. The Eagles won three of those four games; one in regulation, one in overtime, and one in a shoot-out.
