The Fort Wayne Komets traveled to Kansas City on Friday night, January 2, 2026, and lost to the Mavericks 3-2 in overtime.

The Mavericks started quickly as Jake Randl struck just 1:05 into the match. Kirill Tyutyayev picked up an assist to extend his road point streak to six games. The host Mavericks reclaimed the lead with a late goal from Landon McCallum at 17:36 to make it 2-1 after two periods.

The Mavericks were unable to add to their lead in the third period, leaving room for Blake Murray to score the game-tying goal at 18:33 of the third period to send the game to overtime, where the game ended the same way it started, with a Randl goal just fifteen seconds into the extra frame.
