Goaltender Pat Nagle, who was called up to Grand Rapids of the American Hockey League on Wednesday, was returned today after he served as the backup in one game. It was his second AHL call-up of the season; he was with Stockton earlier.

However, the Komets lost defenseman Cody Corbett, who was called back to San Antonio of the AHL. He had five goals and 11 points in 17 games with the Komets.

The Komets will have forward Alex Belzile back in the lineup, after he missed 12 games with an injury. He has three goals and six points in six games.

Forward Mike Embach should also be back, after his mother had a kidney transplant and his father donated one this week. There is one more day to pledge money to fight kidney disease for every Komets home victory in December -- www.causemates.com/mikeembach

Reid Halabi is another player who is available to play, though he’s still on injured reserve.

Dean Ouellet and Brock Montgomery remain out for the Komets, who play host to the Indy Fuel on Friday at Memorial Coliseum.
