The Utica Comets finally won their first game of the season. Prospects Lenni Hameenaho and Shane LaChance remain pointless.
It took until Game 8 of the AHL season, but the Utica Comets have finally won their first game with a 3-1 victory over the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins on Saturday night. This followed another shutout loss for the Comets on Friday night, this time 4-0 against Syracuse. Newly returned Nico Daws was in net for both games. Angus Crookshank, Mike Hardman, and Jonathan Gruden scored for the Comets. Rookies center Matyas Melovsky and defenseman Ethan Edwards picked up assists.
Noticeably absent from the scoresheet again was Shane LaChance despite playing on the top line with Ryan Schmelzer and the goal-scorer Angus Crookshank. Lenni Hameenaho, who has been suiting up on mostly the Comets third line, did not play in the victory. Both prospects shined in training camp and looked to be on the verge of making the Devils. It should not take long for them to get back on track.
