DeAngelis put Fort Wayne back ahead with a goal at 2:48. Stephon Thorne added an empty-netter at 19:26.

Colin Chaulk, Chris Auger, Tom Mele and David Starenky scored in the first period for Fort Wayne.

Jamie Lovell scored in the second period to stretch the lead to 5-2.

Luke Erickson scored the next two goals to bring Arizona (12-22-7) within 5-4 after two periods. Butler tied the contest early in the third and DeAngelis responded moments later.

Nick Boucher made 25 saves for the Komets (25-12-2). Center Brett Smith, who missed five games because of a concussion, returned to action for Fort Wayne.
