Fort Wayne Komets News Release


Fort Wayne, IN - The Komets skated a perfect six-point weekend for the week ending Jan. 10 to improve to 20-11-0-2 for 42 points, nine points shy of first-place Port Huron after 13 weeks of play.

The Komets are close to mirroring last year's pace at this time when they were in third place with 38 points after 33 games, but trailing the first-place Icehawks by five points.

The three wins for the week extends Fort Wayne's unbeaten streak to six games (5-0-01). Friday the Komets turned back Bloomington 3-2 in a shootout. It was the first Fort Wayne home shootout win in two years since the Komets dropped Flint 4-3 in a shootout March 15, 2008. The Komets, now 3-2 in shootouts, won the shootout on goals by veterans Konstantin Shafranov, Guy Dupuis and Colin Chaulk. Dupuis and Chaulk scored on their first shootout attempts of the season.

After Saturday's 4-2 home win against Muskegon, the Komets whitewashed the Gems in Dayton Sunday 3-0 for the first Fort Wayne shutout of the season. Komet netminder Tim Haun posted the shutout, the second of his career, stopping all 30 Dayton shots.

The Komets lead the series 4-2-0-0. The Thunder are winless in their last seven games and will skate at Dayton Wednesday before hosting the Komets Saturday.
