TORONTO -- Mikka Salomaki scored once and set up another as the Milwaukee Admirals defeated the Toronto Marlies 5-1 in American Hockey League action Saturday afternoon. Austin Watson, Scott Ford, Filip Forsberg and Mark Van Guilder had the other goals for the Admirals (30-21-12). Scott Darling made 30 saves for his 10th win of the season. Trevor Smith scored the lone goal for the Marlies (37-20-5). Marlies goaltender Christopher Gibson was replaced at 10:25 of the second period after allowing three goals on 14 shots. Garret Sparks made 11 saves in relief. With the win, Milwaukee sweeps the season series having won the only other meeting between the two teams, 3-2, on Jan. 21. The loss snaps Torontos five-game unbeaten streak. The Marlies dropped to 4-6-2 in 12 meetings against the Admirals. Milwaukee opened the scoring, on a power play, at 10:03 of the first as Salomaki banged home a rebound off an Anthony Bietto shot for his 17th of the season. Watson gave the Admirals a two-goal cushion four minutes later, re-directing a Salomaki feed past Gibson. Milwaukee took a 3-0 lead at 10:55 of the second period as Gibson mis-handled a routine wrist shot from Ford. That was the end of Gibsons afternoon. Forsberg made it 4-0 after one-timing a Mark Van Guilder pass past Sparks at 18:14. The Admirals improved to 18-0-2 when leading after 40 minutes. After Smith got the Marlies on the board 11 seconds into the third, backhanding shot over the shoulder of Darling, Van Guilder restored the Admirals four-goal lead putting a pass past a sprawling Sparks for his 13th of the season.

Hes hired a professional makeup artist before lurching down Yonge Street among the undead as part of Zombie Walk. Last season, he shaved a huge red Raptors claw into his hair. And last week, he bought out two stores of Drakes new album "Nothing Was the Same," and then handed the CDs out free to fans. Next on his Toronto to-do list -- if his contract permits -- is the CN Tower EdgeWalk. Four years into his tenure in Toronto, the Raptors forward has embraced his adopted city perhaps unlike any other professional athlete. "Toronto is part of me," Johnson said at training camp Thursday at the Air Canada Centre. "Ive been around, the people are very kind, I love it here." Johnson, who arrived in a trade in the summer of 2009 after four seasons spent in Detroit, said he fell in love with Toronto virtually upon arrival. "I walked around downtown a little bit, and I got kind of a humble feeling, everybody was so polite and so cool. Thats when I first started loving Toronto," said the 26-year-old. Late last season he held his third annual "Roll with Amir" night out, hosting 100 fans at a Raptors game and then treating them to dinner. He posed for pictures with each and every fan, and posted the fan photos on his various social media channels. Whats impressive is that Johnsons random acts of kindness are exactly that -- umprompted by the team or his agent. "Everything I do is just off the top of the head, its just genuine pretty much," Johnson said. "I dont really plan anything or call anybody. I just wake up in the morning, and say, OK, Im going to do this. Thats how I do everything." Thats how the Drake album giveaway came about. "It was a pretty big crowd man, I didnt think it was going to be a lot of people but I tweeted it out as soon as I got (to the first store), and by the time I got done buying the CDs it was a whole crowd," said Johnson, who handed out the CDs at Torontos busy Yonge-Dundas Square. "Everybody was so cool, so I just told everybody to line up on the side, and they did. It could have got out of hand, but everybody was so cool about it. It was just fun." Drake, who is friends with Johnson, learned about the gesture after the fact, and told reporters earlier this week aat a news conference to announce he was the Raptors new global ambassador that Johnson "is just a great guy.dddddddddddd." Johnson also threw out the first pitch at a Toronto Blue Jays game, and has become a big hockey fan since he attended his first Maple Leafs game. There were more than a few raised eyebrows, however, when the Raptors signed Johnson to a five-year contract extension worth US$34 million in 2010. Critics called him overrated. They said he wasnt worth nearly that much. But in the couple of seasons since, the six-foot-nine forward, who will earn $6.5 million this season, has endeared himself to fans. His hustle and work ethic are enviable, his pain threshold is a thing of wonder. Johnson rolled his ankle numerous times last season -- one particular photo captured his ankle mid-roll, his foot jutting out to nearly a 90 degree ankle from his leg. But a quick retape from the trainers and hes usually right back on the court. He missed one game all season, and it wasnt for injury, but a one-game suspension. He finished the year with career highs in points, averaging 10 a night, rebounds (7.5), assists (1.5), steals (1.0), blocks (1.4) and minutes (28.7). The Raptors are returning to a defensive focus this season, after coach Dwane Casey said the pendulum swung too far in the offensive direction last season. "We know we have to pick it up, we know where we ranked last year," said Johnson, the Raptors defensive cornerstone. "The main thing is after a shot everybody has to run back on defence, and weve been doing that since Day 1 (of camp). Even if were not playing against each other, when we shoot a shot we have to run back and touch halfcourt, so theyve been stressing get back after the shot." Johnson arrived at camp after a summer that included a vacation in Thailand. He posed for pictures with a tiger and joined a group of other tourists in playing tug of war with an elephant (the elephant won). "Ive been a lot of places, I love to travel, I love to try stuff different," Johnson said. "I want to see the world, so Im going to keep on experiencing different stuff." But the Raptors big man, who keeps his Toronto condo through the off-season, said he could see himself settling down in the city once his career comes to an end. "Ill definitely consider living here," Johnson said. "I love it out here." ' ' '
