At this rate, Brad MacMillan is going to be way too valuable to waste his time fighting. The Komets can't afford for him to sit out five minutes.
It's 1-0 after the first period. They changed the goal from MacMillan to Keith Rodger.
BTW, Komets GM David Franke and President Michael Franke both said the goal judge got the call right in Kalamazoo on Saturday.
Komets have moved Colin Chaulk to the point on the power play.
Nick Boucher was even better in the first period than he's been in the first two games.

Great game but Welker is driving me nuts, call nothing then everything then nothing
You could tell it was the 3rd game in 3 nights for both clubs. Mac is playing the right amount of time and I like him on the PP. Please can we score on a 5 on 3 !! MVL has not played up to par at all he is pressing and needs to just relax and play...
You could tell by the type of penalties they were taking. Lots of stick fouls because they were not moving tired legs.
It seems that the Komets are doing the same thing as they did last year late in the season. The longer games go, the better the K's look. Countless times it seems like other teams can hang with the Komets through the first period, but as the minutes tick by in the 2nd period, the Komets all the sudden look quicker and sharper than their opponents. I think a lot of the credit for this goes to Coach Sims and the conditioning and training that he must have the team doing in the off-season and throughout the season that apparently the other teams aren't doing. I never really worry if the team is down after the first period because I know the team is going to bring it in the next two periods. It's also great when the guys score multiple goals in a matter of seconds. Talk about a great way to kill another team's morale. There were a few Kalamazoo fans near us tonight and it was great NOT hearing them at all. Keep it up, guys. GO KOMETS!!!
