Reid Schaefer's two-goal performance fuels Admirals' 4-3 OT comeback over Moose

Reid Schaefer scored twice, including the overtime winner, to complete a late comeback as the Milwaukee Admirals rallied from a two-goal deficit to beat the Manitoba Moose 4-3 in overtime at UW-M Panther Arena on March 1, 2026. The win erased what looked like a looming loss and turned the Admirals' outing into one of the more dramatic finishes on the AHL slate this week.

Milwaukee trailed late in the game before mounting the rally that produced four unanswered goals by the final horn and overtime. Schaefer’s two-goal afternoon provided the decisive spark; his second goal in overtime finished the comeback and sealed the 4-3 result. The sequence handed the Admirals a hard-fought victory over a Manitoba club that had carried a multi-goal lead into the late stages.

The setting at UW-M Panther Arena amplified the impact: a tight game in front of the Manitoban crowd shifted in short order as Milwaukee chipped away at the late deficit and forced extra time. Schaefer’s second tally in overtime not only tied the contest in the box score but swung the momentum of the game and the weekend schedule for the Admirals.

Statistically, the headline is straightforward: Schaefer, two goals; final score, Milwaukee 4, Manitoba 3 in overtime. Those numbers matter because they convert a late collapse by Manitoba into a resume-building win for the Admirals and an attention-grabbing performance for Schaefer. In a league where single-game bursts can influence call-ups and roster conversations, a two-goal, overtime-deciding outing has clear, immediate value.

Milwaukee leaves UW-M Panther Arena with the victory logged on March 1, 2026, and a comeback that will be replayed in coaching reviews and highlight reels alike. Reid Schaefer’s late-game production was the margin of difference; the Admirals converted a two-goal hole into a 4-3 overtime win that changes the day’s narrative for both clubs.
