K-WINGS STUNNED BY KOMETS AT HOME
Kalamazoo falls as Fort Wayne pots game-winning goal with 1:45 remaining in regulation.
KALAMAZOO, MI – The Kalamazoo Wings (3-4-2-0), proud ECHL affiliate of the National Hockey League’s Vancouver Canucks, fall to Fort Wayne Komets (4-4-0-1) Sunday on a late third-period goal, 3-1.
The teams traded scoring opportunities in the first, but neither goaltender was beaten in the opening frame.
Fort Wayne took advantage of Kalamazoo’s first power-play opportunity of the game, scoring short-handed with 58 seconds left in the second.
Rookie Adam Ingram (1) scored his first professional goal to tie the game at one at the 4:27 mark of the third period. Ingram and Andre Ghantous (5) connected on a give-and-go pass before snipping the puck into the top left corner. Rookie Noah Ellis (7) got the secondary assist, his fourth helper in the last two games.
Unfortunately, Fort Wayne scored the game-winning goal with 1:45 left in the third period, and scored a shorthanded empty-net goal with nine seconds remaining.
Mitchell Weeks (1-3-0-0) made a season-high 47 saves in the contest. The K-Wings were outshot 50-38 and were a perfect 3-for-3 on the penalty kill.
Next up, Kalamazoo hosts the New Mexico Goatheads (2-5-4-0) for the first time in franchise history at 7:00 p.m. ET on Friday, November 13, at Wings Event Center. Get tickets HERE.
