The games will be on Friday, May 6 at 7 p.m. and Saturday, May 7 at 6 p.m. The opponent for those games will either be the Texas Stars or the Manitoba Moose.

Milwaukee could also finish in fourth place and take on the Texas Stars in a best-of-three play-in series. That series would feature all three games in Milwaukee given the distance between the two cities. A decisive Game 3 would be played on Sunday, May 8 at 6 p.m. if necessary.
Tickets for the May 6 and May 7 games went on sale at 1 p.m. Wednesday, April 27 and can be purchased through the Admirals' website. Ticket prices for the first round of the playoffs will start at $8
The regular season will wrap up for the Admirals on Friday night when they host the Rockford IceHogs at 7 p.m. – a game that was postponed from Dec. 30 until now because of COVID-19 protocols affecting Rockford. The first 2,500 fans will receive a free ticket to Summerfest.
