The Bloomington Bison were in town for the final time during the regular season to take on the Komets on Friday.
Veteran defenseman Jalen Smereck started the scoring with a power-play goal at 3:03 of the first period, assisted by Jens Richards and Alex Aleardi. The Bison answered with a strike at 17:19 to knot the game heading into the intermission.
In the second period, Austin Magera and Kirill Tyutyayev scored to give the Komets a 3-1 lead after two periods.
The Bison rallied in the third period, getting two markers past goaltender Sam Jonsson at 4:34 and 5:19. Neither team could break the deadlock, so the contest went to overtime, where both goaltenders made key saves, leading to a shootout.
In the shootout, Jonsson stopped both shots he faced as William Dufour and Aleardi scored to give the Komets the 4-3 win. Jonsson finished with 35 for his 18th victory of the season.
