The Knight Monsters exploded in the first period, scoring three goals as Blake Wells, Connor Marritt and Luke Adam all found the back of the net. After going into the first intermission trailing 3-0 last night, Tahoe flipped the script and took a 3-0 lead into the locker room after the first twenty minutes of action.
Goaltender Jordan Papirny continued to shine in the second period as he stopped a penalty attempt by Komets forward Josh Groll to keep the Tahoe lead at three. The Knight Monsters have successfully stopped both penalty shot attempts against them this season.
Later in the frame, Kevin Wall would score his tenth goal of the season to give Tahoe a 4-0 lead. Although Kirill Tyutyayev would end Papirny’s shutout streak, the Knight Monsters still took a 4-1 lead into the final period.
In the third, Mike O’Leary joined the scoring party to make it 5-1 in the first four minutes of the period. Fort Wayne would cut the lead to 3 thanks to a power play goal from Blake Murray, but Tahoe would bounce back when Jake McGrew found the back of the net on a rebound to make it 6-2 to Knight Monsters, which would be the final score.
