Fort Wayne, IN --The visiting Evansville IceMen cooled the Komets 3-1 Friday night at the Memorial Coliseum in Fort Wayne before 7,337. The Komet's six-game point streak ended as the Komets did not pick up a point for the first time since Dec. 18.

After a scoreless first period, Evansville netted three unanswered goals in the second period on shots by Mario Larocque (PPG), Jordan Little and Brian Bicek (SHG). The Komets rallied for a power play marker in the third frame when defenseman Guy Dupuis scored his second goal of the season for the only tally of the period.
Komet goalie Kevin Reiter registered his seventh loss in his 13th appearance making 22 saves on 25 shots. Netminder Jeff Harvey earned the win in his first appearance with Evansville stopping 26 shots.
Fort Wayne falls to 9-16-3 while Evansville improves to 11-18-5.
The Komets skate at Dayton Saturday night at 7:30 before returning to Fort Wayne for the first Sunday matinee of the year against the Quad City Mallards at 5pm.
