Luke Kunin scored twice, Ryan Donato recorded three assists and the Iowa Wild earned its second straight convincing win with a 6-1 decision over Milwaukee on Tuesday night.
The Wild have outscored the Admirals 13-1 in taking a 2-0 lead in their best-of-five Central Division semifinal series. Game 3 is scheduled for Thursday night in Milwaukee.
Matt Read, Mason Shaw, Gerald Mayhew and Mike Liambas also scored for Iowa and Andrew Hammond followed up his Game 1 shutout with a 33-save effort in Game 2.
Justin Kirkland scored the only goal for the Admirals, who set a dubious AHL record with their 13th consecutive postseason loss. Milwaukee was outscored 25-2 in their five visits to Wells Fargo Arena this season.
Iowa is the first AHL team since the Hershey Bears in 1989 to win each of the first two games of a playoff series by five or more goals.
