The Komets and Walleye faced off for the fourth time in 10 games on Saturday, with the Komets leading the season series 2-1.
Although both teams enjoyed power-play chances in the first period, the game remained scoreless until Toledo defenseman Marcus Crawford scored a 4-on-4 goal at 19:13.
Toledo opened the second period with a marker at 5:38 to make it 2-0. On a Walleye power play, Toledo goaltender Carter Gylander misplayed the puck, leading to Patrick Guzzo lighting the lamp to make it 2-1. After the Komets failed to score on a 5-on-3 power play, Toledo’s Mitchell Lewandowski stole the puck from Jonny Tychonick at the Komet blueline, setting up Nick Andrews to score with one-tenth of a second left on the clock to make it 3-1.
In the third period, Josh Davies scored his second short-handed goal of the season at 9:42 to give the Komets hope, but late in the period, with Komet goaltender Nathan Day on the bench for the extra skater, Toledo scored an empty-net goal with nine-tenths of a second remaining in the period to make it a 4-2 final, as Day made 41 saves in the loss as the Komets went 0 for 8 on the power play.
