From staff reports
The Fort Wayne Komets are bearing down on the Port Huron IceHawks.
While the Komets were winning 5-0 at Quad City on Saturday night, Port Huron was losing 3-1 at Flint, knocking the IceHawks' lead over the Komets for second place in the International Hockey League to three points. The Komets have also played three fewer games than Port Huron. Muskegon beat Datyon 3-2 at home to maintain a 10-point lead against Port Huron and 13 over the Komets.
The Komets play at Bloomington today while Port Huron hosts Flint.
As bad as this might sound, Komets forward David Hukalo has torn back muscles -- and that might be a good thing. When Hukalo was hit on Dec. 26 in Muskegon, the initial fear was that his surgically repaired shoulders might be in trouble, but he was able to come back and play a few games before getting a concussion and going on injured reserve.
During his time on IR, Komets trainer Shawn Dundon was determined to find out what was wrong with Hukalo's prepetually hurting back. Turns out the veteran has torn muscles.
