FORT WAYNE, IN - The second game in a doubleheader between the Port Huron Icehawks and the Fort Wayne Komets saw the same score as the first contest, but with a different result.

David Hukalo, Maxime Gravelle, Konstantin Shafranov and P.C. Drouin all scored for the Komets. Shafranov's goal came on the power play.

The Komets outshot the Icehawks 31-26 in the win. Komets goalie Sebastien Laplante stopped all 26 shots faced to earn the shutout. Icehawks goalie Ryan Mior, who on Friday earned his second shutout in three starts, suffered the loss with 27 saves on 31 shots.
