- On Friday they lost 5-4 in overtime to the Milwaukee Admirals. San Antonio allowed the final three goals in 3:29 minutes, after holding a 4-2 lead in the third. The line of Howden-Santorelli-Ortmeyer had five points in the first period. Goaltender Jacob Markstrom received a ten minute misconduct for throwing his stick across the ice. Markstrom believed he was cross-checked before the final goal.

Neither goalie allowed a goal in both of their shootout wins.
