WHEELING, WV- The Wheeling Nailers came back from a two-goal deficit in the third period against the Fort Wayne Komets to pick up a point on Friday night at WesBanco Arena. Unfortunately, the home squad was unable to get the bonus point, as former Nailer Brandon Hawkins powered in the game winning goal on a man advantage for Fort Wayne. Tyler Drevitch and Cody Sylvester were the goal scorers for the Nailers.
The first period featured one goal, which was scored by the visiting Komets. Blake Siebenaler launched the puck ahead, to send Zach Pochiro and Justin Vaive on a 2-on-1 break. Pochiro dished a pass through the sliding Wheeling defender to Vaive, who faked to his backhand and swept his shot inside the right post.

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.”
