Lincoln Kaleigh Schrock scored at 3:02 of overtime to lift the Komets to a 2-1 victory at Tulsa on Tuesday.

Brent Henley and Jamie Milam assisted on the goal as Fort Wayne won in its first-ever trip to the BOK Center.

The Komets (32-16-3) were two-men short of a full 18-player lineup for third straight game because of the suspensions. Fort Wayne overcame the losses, as Gerry Festa made 27 saves.

Steve Christie made 42 saves for Tulsa (23-20-6), which is coached by former Komets player/assistant Bruce Ramsay.

The Komets’ Chris Auger scored at 3:12 of the first period. Gary Steffes tied the game with a goal at 16:55 of the second period.

It remained that way until Schrock came through in overtime. The Komets face Arizona on Friday at Memorial Coliseum.

Woods still a target

Tiger Woods’ opponent in the opening round of the Match Play Championship at Marana, Ariz., says he’s “beatable.” There was a time when comments like that – from Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano, in this case – would serve as motivation for Woods. But he didn’t seem the least bit bothered except to say of the Spaniard, “He’s beatable, too.” But that’s the case for all 64 players at Dove Mountain this week in the first World Golf Championship of the year. Everyone is beatable in 18 holes of match play. Among the first-round matches: Luke Donald, the defending champion, against three-time major champion Ernie Els.
