Matt Miller followed Harsch’s tally with his second of the season, with assists going to Harsch and Dru Krebs at 7:20. The scoring was concluded in the period when Magera zipped the puck over the shoulder of Appleby for his second point of the game at 16:29 to make it a 4-0 after two periods.
The Komets started the third period on a power-play, and Blake Murray promptly deposited the puck past reliever Tommy Scarfone at :48 with helpers going to Stefan and Krebs to make the game 5-0.
