K s lose to Nailers in game capped by fracas
JUSTIN A. COHN | The Journal Gazette
About the closest thing you’ll find to a certainty in the ECHL is the Komets beating the Wheeling Nailers when they play at Memorial Coliseum.
But tonight was the exception to the rule. The Nailers got a 4-3 victory over the Komets, who have won 20 of the last 24 games between the teams here.
The waning seconds saw Wheeling’s Austin Fyten knee the Komets’ Anthony Petruzzelli, setting off a melee and likely putting him in the crosshairs of ECHL discipline. The Wheeling players then engaged in a shouting match with Fort Wayne fans and the Nailers’ Chad Duchesne swiped at a fan with his stick.

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.”
