Smallman, special teams lead K s to 4-2 victory
JUSTIN A. COHN | The Journal Gazette
The Komets and Wheeling Nailers are clearly getting sick of each other already, having played six times over 10 games. It could be seen through an eye-popping, dangerous hit by Wheeling’s Hayden Hodgson on Fort Wayne’s Matt Murphy, who was knocked out of the game, and by some other post-whistle tantrums Friday night.
“These are really intense games,” Fort Wayne captain A.J. Jenks said after scoring a goal in a 4-2 victory over the Nailers, in front of an announced crowd of 3,040 at Memorial Coliseum. “We’re in a shortened season and we started it late. It’s a sprint, it’s a sprint right through to the end. … Every game matters, you can’t take a night off and the intensity has to stay high.”

Who owns the Komets players rights?
JUSTIN A. COHN | The Journal Gazette
We may only be nine games into the season, but I know what you’re thinking: “Can we keep some of these guys next season?”
It’s true, because of this weird season amid a pandemic that caused 12 teams to opt out, some of the roster rules have been tough to decipher. The big thing you need to know is that if a Fort Wayne player previously signed with a team that’s now not playing, in most cases his rights will revert to his former team.

The Toledo Walleye have suspended their season until January, but they are still picking up players, including the return of goalkeeper Billy Christopoulos. Christopoulos returns to the pond after playing 29 games with the Fish during the 2019-20 season. The 26-year-old finished his first professional season with a League best .932 save percentage, while posting a 24-3-3 record. He had a 2.29 goals against average last season which finished as the 6th best in the ECHL, while his 24 wins was third most.
