Tampa Bay’s AHL affiliate wins 25th consecutive game

Norfolk

Even though Saturday was primarily about the National Hockey League, a pretty impressive feat was accomplished in the AHL.

The Norfolk Admirals -- Tampa Bay’s minor-league affiliate -- won their 25th straight game of the season with a 4-1 win over the Binghamton Senators.

More, from the Admirals website:

With a trio of goals in the final three minutes of regulation on Saturday night, the Norfolk Admirals (52-18-1-2) downed the Binghamton Senators (28-40-4-2), 4-1, in their regular season finale in front of a sellout crowd at Norfolk Scope Arena.

With the win, the Admirals set a franchise record with 15 consecutive wins on home ice and stretched their overall winning streak to 25 games.

Some fun facts about the streak:

-- Norfolk has not lost since Feb. 5th - a 4-2 defeat in Springfield.

-- The Admirals extended their regulation winning streak to 19 games, a record for active professional hockey leagues in North America.

-- They’ve won 24 of 25 games during the winning streak in regulation and only one game in a shootout (Feb. 18 vs. Syracuse).

So...the AHL affiliate rips off its 25th straight win and Steve Stamkos scores his 60th goal all on the same night. Not a bad little evening for Tampa Bay, that.
