Heartlanders head into holiday break with 4-1 loss

Coralville, Iowa – The Iowa Heartlanders received a goal from Yuki Miura in a 4-1 loss to the Fort Wayne Komets Saturday at Xtream Arena.

 

Peyton Jones blocked 33 shots in defeat. Brett Brochu made 34 stops, denying the final 27 of the game from Iowa.

 

Iowa struck first on a one-on-one Miura with 7:47 to go in the first period. Koch sprung Miura in over the line to the right slot and the Toyko native gained a step on the defense. Miura swiveled it by the goaltender low for his foruth of the season. 

 

Fort Wayne equalized five minutes later on the power play, a strike from Nolan Volcan. The Komets then scored the only two goals of the first (Ture Linden, 4:55 of 2nd | Morgan Adams-Moisan, 6:55 of 2nd, PPG).

 

Matt Wedman completed the scoring with an empty-net goal in the final minutes.
