Blue Whales pick up point but fall to Fort Wayne at BOK Center

TULSA, Okla —The Route 66 Blue Whales, proud ECHL affiliate of the NHL’s Anaheim Ducks and the AHL’s San Diego Gulls and powered by Community Care, fell 3-2 in overtime to the Fort Wayne Komets at the BOK Center on Friday night.

Mike McKee scored the Route 66 Blue Whales opening goal, hammering a caromed shot from the left-wing wall through a butterflied Connor Unger with 1:22 remaining in the opening period.

 

Olivier Dame-Malka extended the Whales’ lead to 2-0 with his second goal in his last three outings, coming 6:54 into the middle frame. 

 

Odeen Tufto started off the Komets’ comeback with 5:09 remaining, ripping a power-play one timer into the top of the net. Jack Dugan leveled the game with 2:41 left in regulation, finishing off a rebound at high speed to force overtime.  

 

Alex Swetlikoff finished off the game 3-2, scoring 2:54 into the extra frame. Tufto set the goal up, giving the forward a point on all three Fort Wayne goals.  

 

The Blue Whales aim for three of a possible four points against Fort Wayne on the week in a rematch at 7:05 p.m. at the BOK Center tomorrow, Jan. 11.
