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.

K s release Howe, a day after he s suspended 9 games
JUSTIN A. COHN | The Journal Gazette
The Komets have released forward Travis Howe, who was suspended nine games by the ECHL on Tuesday for his actions in Saturday s 5-3 victory over the Wheeling Nailers that included going into the Wheeling locker room before the game, being physical with an official during a late-game fracas, and making inappropriate gestures toward the visitors bench. No. 1, actions have consequences and we felt that Travis went too far and it wasn t a good thing for him or for the team, so we just decided to make the move, Komets general manager David Franke said. And another reason for the move was he would have to remain on our active roster and count toward the salary cap. If we did that for the next three weeks or so, it would hamstring us

No joke: K s posted ad for new coach
JUSTIN A. COHN | The Journal Gazette
No, Ben Boudreau isn’t suddenly jobless. After all, the Komets are off to a 7-1-3 start that has put them atop the ECHL with a .773 winning percentage. And no, it wasn’t a joke by some disgruntled fan with too much time or money on their hands, or even a prank by the Wheeling Nailers, who would seemingly love nothing more than to try and get in the Komets’ heads.
