Ottawa visits Milwaukee after dropping two in a row, still in the mist of a great start, the fans and players alike would like to see a win here.

Well, they started bad, 11 minutes of the first 20 saw Ottawa having a player in the penalty box.

So much time didn't show well on the first period stat sheet. Milwaukee scored to powerplay goals and outshot the Pilots 19-3 in the first period.

The second period however was mostly even strength, no penalties until 18 minutes went in the second period, a Milwaukee penalty. In the period, Ottawa had two of its defenders find the net, 2-2.

Milwaukee took the 3rd period and the game, once again on a powerplay goal, from W Hastings, and then Schole added another goal, the first and only even strength goal of the game separated the teams for good.

The 4-2 Storm win brings to question Ottawa's team state. Now with the third loss in a row, it seems Ottawa's sizzling start may be slipping into their first challenging period of the season.
