A dump in behind the FW net hit a seam in the glass and bounced directly to Collin Circelli for an easy goal. Shots are 24-11 Ks with 9:03 left in the second. Les Reaney got a two minute minor for boarding David Starenky's head into the boards. Starenky came back the next shift. Komets also just had a goal waved off.
In the first intermission. Shots are 17-6 Komets. RC has had a pair of power-play attempts to Fort Wayne's one.
Komets almost made it 2-0 on this.
Brett Smith found a crease with a J.M. Rizk pass. Maybe as important, shots are 14-3 Fort Wayne with 10 minutes left in the first period.

Much more gritty, much less pretty. We talk about the first two games and the next three.
* How effective will Konrad Reeder be after crashing through the glass at the end of Game 2? The Rush’s leading scorer has one assist so far and appeared to injure his shoulder on the play.
* Will Les Reaney be more effective trying to get inside the head of David Starenky? So far, Starenky has mostly been laughing at the attempts.
The Komets announced Tuesday that two amateurs have been added to the playoff roster.
The Fort Wayne Komets Bantam AA Team won all of their preliminary games in pursuit of a National Championship in the Tier II U14 Division in Wayne, New Jersey last week. The team defeated the Spokane Jr. Chiefs on Wednesday 5-2, the North Carolina Jr. Hurricanes on Thursday 4-2 and the CSB Hawks from Vermont on Friday 7-2. The team advanced to the quarterfinals on Saturday as the No. 1 seed in their division and defeated the Tampa Bay Raiders 4-3. The team advanced to the semifinals on Saturday night and lost a very intense game to the North Carolina Jr. Hurricanes, 3-2.
Chris Auger carries the put around the net
Then he shoots it on net with Colin Chaulk on the other side
The scrum is on
Referee Zak Blazic sees the puck under Tim Boron's right pad in the goal
On a wild scramble in front of RC net. Chaulk got credit. Referee was right behind the net. I couldn't tell how the puck went in. 1:36 left.
It's 7:00 left 1-1 and the shots are 11-5 Rush in the third, and the referee has officially put his whistle away for the night. It's getting nasty. Fun game to watch.
A really poor line change by Rizk, Throne and Schrock with the puck still in the neutal zone allowed Jesse Schultz to break in on a short breakaway to beat Nick top shelf. Since then, Tom Mele missed a breakaway and Chris Auger hit the post. Komets going on the power play as Reeder just tripped Smith.
