K s add goalie Gorsuch
JUSTIN A. COHN | The Journal Gazette
The Komets were in need of a goaltender after rookie Robbie Beydoun was called up to Iowa of the American Hockey League on Wednesday, so they signed Trevor Gorsuch today.
Gorsuch, 26, had played six games this season with the Utah Grizzlies, going 2-2-1 with a 2.89 goals-against average and a .912 save percentage. He’d also played two games with the lower-level Southern Professional Hockey League’s Macon Mayhem, going 1-1-0 with a 1.52 GAA and a .947 SP.
Gorsuch played five games with Toledo between early 2019, when he finished his career at Western Michigan University, and early 2020. He stopped 42 of 44 shots and 3 of 3 shootout attempts in a 3-2 victory over the Komets on Jan. 26, 2020, in Ohio.

Motivated Szydlowski delivers in Komets victory
Tallies 1 goal, 1 assist after 3-game benching
JUSTIN A. COHN | The Journal Gazette
Shawn Szydlowski, in explaining why he had been benched for three games last weekend, said he had been so frustrated with his lack of production that he would grip his sticks so hard that they would break.
Worse, he didn’t realize just how much his frustration was negatively affecting the rest of the team.
“I would say I was reacting the wrong way to not having success” said Szydlowski, the Komets’ longtime star. “I’m used to having success here on this team and I just wasn’t having it. I think I was just putting too much pressure on myself at the end of the day.”
