FORT WAYNE, Ind.

What had been a one-goal Mallard lead stretched to 3-1 when Brown- who also picked up an assist- drove home the Flock's second power play goal of the game from the left wing circle at 3:32 of the third period. Brown's goal would stand up as the difference after Fort Wayne's Frankie DeAngelis pounced on a loose puck in the slot to cut the gap to 3-2 at 9:02 of the third. The Komets pressured for a late equalizer after pulling goaltender Nick Boucher with 1:37 remaining but McKee- who made 11 saves in the third period- and the Mallards held on to the final horn.
