They came back from a 3-1 third-period deficit but couldn't crack Bloomington goaltender Jason Wolfe in the shootout, getting one goal in 11 tries. David Hukalo, Sean O'Connor and Konstantin Shafranov scored for the Komets, and Sebastien Laplante made 34 saves. The Komets out-shot the PrairieThunder 44-37. It's their seventh game in a row to earn at least a point.

The Komets beat Muskegon 10-3, scoring 10 goals for the first time since March 25, 2000 against Adirondack and on the road for the first time since April 13, 1995 vs. Peoria.

Pretty much the same lineup tonight as last weekend, except Ryan Potts is playing tonight. He was out of town last weekend on a family outing.

Potts is taking Osman's spot on the roster, so if Osman can play Saturday or Sunday, Potts is ineligible. The Komets had to get permission from the league to sign Potts to an emergency contract, just as they did last weekend with Adam Lewis.
"Legends of the Komets" is now available at Komet Kuarters and will be available at Komets games starting Jan. 30 for the game against Port Huron. Several of the legends profiled in the book will be available for autographs that night.
