The Utica

Comets weekly report on all the activities down on the Vancouver Canucks farm

team has returned. The Comets have

played 2 games this week and have broken their 5 game losing streak to return

home with 2 points. There was even some

positive regression in their possession numbers.

Read past

the jump to see what went down.

The

Statistics

The Comets

have improved slightly this week though the results aren’t all that clear. Their possession has increased putting them

back to first in the league in possession statistics after dominating Toronto

on the shot clock. Their PDO has dropped

dramatically recently due to their inability to score which has not helped

them. The Comets have also played the

least amount of games in the leagues so the point gap between themselves and

the teams ahead are just as likely a by-product of the games played

differential.

Friday’s

2-3 Loss vs Toronto

[ Utica Comets Recap ]

The Utica

Comets broke their old record for shots in a game by putting over 50 shots

towards Toronto. Even without score

effects the Comets massively outplayed the Marlies but their luck was not with

them tonight. Tom Sestito also contributed to a game without using his fists.

The Comets

decided to play Joacim Eriksson in a back-to-back, a rare move for this team

but one that worked out as he posted a Quality Start.

Jacob

Markstrom’s bad game this week, with his “mediocre” .930 save percentage has

dropped him to 5th in the league of all goalies.

Sanguinetti thinks Markstrom has good shoveling technique.

Markstrom continues to “revive” his career in the AHL.

It will be

a difficult week for the Comets to try and earn all 8 available points. The Comets play a back-to-back-to-back series

while they are the away team for 2 of the 3 games. The Comets will face Adirondack twice, a team

they have not lost to this year, which will be put to the test.
