K's lose to Nailers in game capped by fracas JUSTIN A. COHN | The Journal Gazette About the closest thing you’ll find to a certainty in the ECHL is the Komets beating the Wheeling Nailers when they play at Memorial Coliseum.

'Motivated' Szydlowski delivers in Komets' victory Tallies 1 goal, 1 assist after 3-game benching JUSTIN A. COHN | The Journal Gazette Shawn Szydlowski, in explaining why he had been benched for three games last weekend, said he had been so frustrated with his lack of production that he would grip his sticks so hard that they would break. Worse, he didn’t realize just how much his frustration was negatively affecting the rest of the team. “I would say I was reacting the wrong way to not having success” said Szydlowski, the Komets’ longtime star. “I’m used to having success here on...
