The Komets have submitted their "season-ending roster" to the ECHL – the list was made public by the league Monday – and from it we can discern players that the Komets are likely parting ways with this offseason.Monday 1 comment

Heading into the second of back-to-back games between the Komets and Florida Everblades -- the Everblades won 6-3 on Friday night -- there are a couple of interesting storylines.

Fort Wayne's Brandon Marino is now tied for third in the ECHL with 66 points. He's three points back of Florida's Mathieu Roy and seven behind Gwinnett's Casey Pierro-Zabotel.

Also, after some trash talking last night, anyone else think Lincoln Kaleigh Schrock and Brent Henley kind of have to fight tonight? I do.

By the way, Jeff Deslauriers has started seven straight games for the Koemts since being sent down by Anaheim of the NHL. I would expect him to play most of the games the remainder of the season, though I wouldn't be surprised if Charlie Effinger gets the nod tonight.

Fort Wayne has only 23 goals over the last 12 games.
