January 25, 2026 - Utica, NY - The Comets hosted the Crunch on Sunday and came away with a 5-1 victory.
The Comets had the start they were looking for, going on the power play just 1:26 into the game when Crunch defenseman Tommy Miller was called for high-sticking.

It was a defensive-minded opening period without many grade-A scoring opportunities from either side for much of the period. The Comets were assessed the only penalty of the frame when Dmitry Osipov was called for tripping at 10:27, but the Comets held the Amerks at bay on the ensuing power play. Towards the end of the period, Rochester defenseman Nikita Novikov picked up the puck in the left... Full Story
