On a Saturday night in Utica at the Adirondack Bank Center the Comets stepped onto the ice at home for a rematch against a team that defeated them fewer than a day earlier. The Comets, looking for revenge against a team above them in the North Division, readied themselves for a tightly contested game in front of a raucous crowd that was lively from the opening puck drop. The Comets, who lead the game multiple times, allowed the Marlies to tie the game in the third period but were able to use the shootout to their advantage for a victory by a 6-5 score.
