Darren Archibald scored 1:19 into overtime to give the Utica Comets a 5-4 win over the visiting Springfield Thunderbirds in Friday night AHL action.

The Comets overcame a three-goal deficit to post the victory.

Acolatse’s third of the year came at the 7:20 mark and was assisted by Michael Downing and Ryan Horvat.
