Fort Wayne, IN
— The Komets skated a perfect six-point weekend for the week
ending Jan. 10 to improve to 20-11-0-2 for 42 points, nine
points shy of first-place Port Huron after 13 weeks of play.
The Komets are close to mirroring last year's pace at this time
when they were in third place with 38 points after 33 games, but
trailing the first-place Icehawks by five points.
The three wins for the week extends Fort Wayne's unbeaten streak
to six games (5-0-01). Friday the Komets turned back
Bloomington 3-2 in a shootout. It was the first Fort Wayne
home shootout win in two years since the Komets dropped Flint
4-3 in a shootout March 15, 2008. The Komets, now 3-2 in
shootouts, won the shootout on goals by veterans Konstantin
Shafranov, Guy Dupuis and Colin Chaulk. Dupuis and Chaulk
scored on their first shootout attempts of the season.
After Saturday's 4-2 home win against Muskegon, the Komets
whitewashed the Gems in Dayton Sunday 3-0 for the first Fort
Wayne shutout of the season. Komet netminder Tim Haun
posted the shutout, the second of his career, stopping all 30
Dayton shots.
Generals here Friday, Mallards visit Sunday
The Komets will again skate three games in three nights this
weekend. Friday the Flint Generals visit for an 8pm
faceoff. The Gens are coming off three straight losses
over the weekend and are winless in their last four (0-3-1-1).
Friday's match will be the third of six Flint visits with the
Komets leading the season series 3-1-0-1. The Generals are
idle until they travel to Fort Wayne Friday.
Saturday the Komets bus to Bloomington to face the
PrairieThunder at 8:05 pm Fort Wayne time. It's the fourth
of six Fort Wayne visits to the U.S. Cellular Coliseum where the
Komets are 1-2-0-0. The Komets lead the series 4-2-0-0.
The Thunder are winless in their last seven games and will skate
at Dayton Wednesday before hosting the Komets Saturday.
Sunday the Komets return home to host the Quad City Mallards at
5pm. The Komets are 2-0-0-1 against Quad City on Coliseum
ice since a 3-2 overtime win Dec. 18 when the Mallards last
visited. The hot Mallards are riding a five-game win
streak and are unbeaten in their last seven games (6-0-0-1).
Quad City plays at Muskegon Friday and welcomes Flint Saturday
before making the trip to Fort Wayne Sunday.
