KALAMAZOO, MI - The Kalamazoo Wings (3-6-0-0), proud ECHL affiliate of the National Hockey League's Vancouver Canucks, dropped a Lavender Ice tilt to the Fort Wayne Komets (8-2-0-0) at Wings Event Center Friday, 5-3.

The Komets took the initial advantage after a power-play goal at the 5:37 mark of the first period.

Following a Komet goal at the 2:49 mark of the second, rookie defenseman Robby Drazner (1) responded with his first professional goal, firing a top-shelf bullet from just inside the blue line at the 5:41 mark. On the play, forward Antonio Venuto (3) cleaned up the trash from underneath and laced a pass to a waiting Drazner.

After two consecutive Fort Wayne goals at the 8:03 and 14:15 marks, captain Collin Saccoman (1) banged home a rebound at the 17:15 mark to cut the deficit to two. On the play, Andre Ghantous (3) sent the puck to a shooting Nolan Walker (5), and Saccoman banged his first goal of the season into a wide-open net.

Unfortunately, the Komets added another goal with 2:12 left in the period to bring the score to 5-2.

The K-Wings played a much stronger third period, as Saccoman (2) laced a rocket inside the right post for his second goal of the contest at the 4:55 mark. On the set-up, Venuto (4) passed the puck to Zach Okabe (7), who fired a shot that redirected off the goaltender directly to Saccoman in the right circle, bringing the score to 5-3.

Kalamazoo went 3-for-4 on the penalty kill, and Luke Pavicich (1-2-0-0) made 35 saves in the contest.

Next up for the K-Wings is the Cincinnati Cyclones (4-5-0-0) at 4:30 p.m. EST on Saturday at Wings Event Center.
