The Komets took to the ice Friday at the Coliseum for the franchise’s 606th playoff game as they faced the Indy Fuel in game one of the best-of-seven opening round of the Kelly Cup playoffs.
In the first period, Brady Stonehouse was able to find the back of the net on a shorthanded goal for the only goal at 19:39. After a scoreless second period, the Komets nabbed their second of the game when Mathew Brown lifted the puck over the shoulder of Indy tendy Mitchell Weeks at 4:28 with assists going to Austin Magera and William Dufour. With his team on the power-play, Magera deflected a shot from Jalen Smereck to notch his first of the playoffs to put the Komets up 3-0. Nathan Day and the Komet defense shut the door the rest of the way, solidifying the 28th shutout in Komet playoff history.
Komets lead the best-of-seven series 1-0.
