DeAngelis capped off the week with one assist against Quad City on Nov. 27, securing the 5-4 victory. Of his seven points, three of them (1G, 3A) came in the third period.
The 5-10, 185-pound defenseman is in his second season with the Komets after helping his team to the IHL's Turner Cup Championship last season with 41 points (9-32=41) in 73 games. So far this season, DeAngelis leads all Komets skaters with 13 points (4-9=13).
