Nailers Fall, Despite 40-Shot Attack
FORT WAYNE, IN- The Wheeling Nailers had one of the better games in terms of generating chances against the Fort Wayne Komets, as they put 40 shots on goal on Saturday night at Allen County War Memorial Coliseum. Despite goals from Austin Fyten and Jesse Lees, the Nailers were unable to get the upper hand on the Komets, who picked up a 7-2 win on their home ice, scoring multiple goals in each period. The game started out with a bang, as Kyle Marino and Morgan Adams-Moisan had a tremendous fight just 1:15 into play. Wheeling would have loved to turn that energy into a lead, but it was the Komets who struck first at the 3:22 mark. Anthony Nellis rushed into the offensive zone on an odd-man rush and pounded a shot on goal from the right side. Taran Kozun made the save, but the rebound kicked out to Marc-Olivier Roy for the putback. Fort Wayne extended its advantage later in the stanza by capitalizing on a turnover. Anthony Petruzzell

Nailers Get the Job Done Against Indy
WHEELING, WV- The Wheeling Nailers were hungry to get things rolling on Wednesday night, as they played host to the Indy Fuel at WesBanco Arena. Wheeling tallied once in each period and got a 25-save effort from Shane Starrett to extend its point streak to six with a 3-1 triumph. Patrick Watling snapped a tied score late in the second period, then Austin Fyten added a key insurance strike in the third. The Nailers scored the lone goal of the first period at the 5:15 mark. Cody Sylvester got the puck behind the net off of a strong offensive zone forecheck by his club. He then dished a pass to Joshua Winquist in the right circle, who immediately fed Patrick McNally for the redirection tally from the top-left corner of the crease.
