Fort Wayne, IN
— The Komets made their only game of the week last week count
with a 4-3 shootout win at Flint Friday night. It was the
first time this season the Komets needed the shootout to decide
the game. Last year the Komets posted a 2-9 record in 11
shootouts. Konstantin Shafranov, Frankie DeAngelis and
P.C. Drouin scored Komet goals in regulation. Shafranov
also hit the net for the only goal needed in the shootout.
Netminder Tim Haun made 26 saves on 29 Flint shots for his
second win of the season. It was the first of six trips to
Flint this year for the Komets. The Generals will make
their season debut in Fort Wayne on Thanksgiving night, Nov. 26.
Komets home double-header weekend this Friday and Saturday
The Quad City Mallards and the Dayton Gems are Komet foes once
again and will make their first appearances of 2009-10 in Fort
Wayne this weekend.
The Mallards return Friday night at 8:00 for their first
encounter with Fort Wayne since they were members of the United
Hockey League during 2006-07. The last time Quad City
visited Fort Wayne was March 23, 2007 when they handed the
Komets a 7-6 shootout loss. The Komets lead the all-time
series against Quad City 36-26-7-0 including the Fort Wayne 3-1
win at Quad City Oct. 24. Friday's match will be Quad
City's first of eight visits to Fort Wayne this year. The
Mallards are 1-4-1-0 after six games and are winless since their
season opening 3-1 victory at Flint Oct. 17. Quad City is
idle this week until they skate at Fort Wayne Friday.
The Gems make their return to Fort Wayne ice Saturday at 7:30pm.
It will be the first time the Dayton Gems have skated in Fort
Wayne since Komets including Al Dumba, Barry Scully, Terry
McDougall, Dave Norris, Doug Johnston, Bob Janecyk and Robbie
Irons defeated the Gems 6-3 in Fort Wayne on March 29, 1980.
The Komets opened this season with a 4-3 overtime win at Dayton
Oct. 16 and are 68-81-0-12 all-time against the Gems.
Saturday's appearance will be Dayton's first of six in Fort
Wayne this year. The Gems won two out of three last
weekend and are 4-4-2-0 in 10 games this season for 10 points
and share fourth place with the Komets in the IHL after four
weeks of play. Dayton visits Flint Wednesday and
travels to Bloomington Friday before skating in Fort Wayne
Saturday.
The Komets will finish the weekend with a 5pm faceoff Sunday at
Walker Arena in Muskegon. It's the first of five trips
this season to Muskegon. The Komets upended the
Lumberjacks 3-1 in the last meeting Halloween night in Fort
Wayne in a game highlighted with 115 penalty minutes between the
Komets and Jacks. Muskegon visits Port Huron Wednesday and
plays host to Flint Friday before welcoming the Komets Sunday.
