KOMETS FIGHT BACK FOR SECOND-STRAIGHT GAME AGAINST BLUE WHALES

Fort Wayne sweeps season series at BOK Center with comeback wins.  

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 5-3 to the Fort Wayne Komets on Saturday night.  

Michael Farren scored his career-high 14th goal of the season to open the scoring 4:04 into the action. Kyle Mayhew scored a power-play goal with a topshelf wrist shot, tying the game 1-1 at the 8:50 mark of the frame. Conner Roulette net his sixth of the season, potting a rebound past Brett Brochu 1:41 into the back half of the period. Olivier Dame-Malka made it a 3-1 Blue Whales’ lead with his third goal in four games — a power-play goal with 4:33 remaining in the period.  

 

Jack Dugan started the unanswered comeback 3:51 into the second period, cutting the lead to 3-2. Alex Swetlikoff popped a topshelf effort home with 4:31 remaining in the middle period, tying the game 3-3 before the second intermission.

 

Harrison Rees scored the game-winning goal, a long-distance effort, with 8:11 left in the contest. Swetlikoff scored his third goal of the series to close the score 5-3 in Fort Wayne’s favor.

 

The Oilers look to close the weekend out on a high note with a 3:05 p.m. battle with division rivals Allen at the BOK Center, tomorrow, Jan. 12.
