Fewer than twenty-four hours after stunning the Cleveland Monsters in the last minute of regulation to capture victory for the second straight game, the Utica Comets hit the ice against an Atlantic Division opponent, the Springfield Thunderbirds. The home team rode onto the ice inside the Adirondack Bank Center with a capacity crowd fully behind them as they searched for points in their sixth game in a row. Although the Comets gave up a goal fairly early into the contest, they managed to hold on and keep things rolling with yet another victory en route to two more points in the standings, three straight wins and points garnered in their sixth game in a row with a 6-3 victory.
