Comets stage dramatic comeback for win over Syracuse

Despite taking an early lead Friday night, the Kansas City Comets needed to stage an exciting comeback to secure a win over the Syracuse Silver Knights. The 6-5 victory at home on top of three road wins gave the Comets a four game win streak.

An early goal from Leo Gibson with an assist to Alain Matingou gave the Comets the lead in the first quarter. Syracuse tied it up in the second but Matingou kept up his hot streak and scored a couple minutes later to retake the lead. A costly turnover right before the end of the half cost the Comets and the two teams went to the half tied.
