Komets sweep weekend with OT win at Toledo

The Komets and Toledo put first place in the Central Division on the line at the Huntington Center on Sunday.

After a scoreless first period, the scoring opened with Ryland Mosley scoring on a Toledo power play at 11:44 of the second period. That goal was followed by Johnny Waldren grabbing a rebound off the back wall and knocking the puck past Nathan Day to put the Walleye up 2-0 at 18:37.

In the third period, the Komets quickly erased the Walleye lead with a pair of tallies. The first came off the stick of Blake Murray at 4:49 and Jalen Smereck at 5:23 to tie the game. Austin Magera gave the Komets the lead with his 21st goal of the season with a wrist shot over the shoulder of Toledo goaltender Carter Gylander at 7:59. Late in the period, with Gylander on the bench for the extra skater, Mitch Lewandowski tipped a pass over the glove of Day to tie the match at 17:48 to eventually send the game to overtime.

In the extra frame, the Komets were able to take advantage of a Toledo penalty when Murray skated on a breakaway to net the game-winning goal at 4:25, making the final score 4-3.

Nathan Day got the win, making 27 saves.
