Fort Wayne, IN- Eric Kattelus notched three points (1 goal, 2 assists) and Joel Martin made 25 saves propelling the Kalamazoo Wings (1-0-0-0) to a 4-1 opening night victory over the Fort Wayne Komets (0-1-0-) Friday night at the Allen County Memorial Coliseum.

A high-octane first period of the season didn’t spark any offense, but that would all change in the middle frame.

A fluke bounce ignited the K-Wings in the second period. Prab Rai (1^st) centering pass from behind the net hit off the skate of a Komets defenseman and into the net early in the stanza to put the K-Wings on the board.

Rai’s tally sparked a four-goal explosion, which included a tally 49 seconds later by Darren Archibald (1^st).

Concluding the period with goals from Elgin Reid (1^st) and Kattleus (1^st), Kalamazoo carried a 4-0 cushion in the third period.

The coliseum’s crowd of 10,091 finally got to cheer midway into the third, as Brandon Marino (1^st) earned the Komets first ECHL goal on a rebound, the lone goal surrendered by Martin.
