JUSTIN A. COHN | The Journal Gazette
Rookie forward Stephen Harper had a goal and an assist, including the winner tonight, as the Komets continued their dominating start to the season with a 3-2 victory over the Wheeling Nailers at Wheeling, West Virginia.
“Anytime you’re in a situation like this with (11) straight games with points, you’re really happy with how the team is playing, especially this weekend with the travel,” said Harper, whose Komets won 2-1 at Indianapolis on Thursday and 3-2 in overtime at Wheeling on Friday.
