Sadowy, who scored the game tying and game-winning goal on Saturday night, put the K-Wings on the board minutes after the Komet goal.
Later in the period, while on the power play, Taylor scored the apparent go-ahead goal, but was not officially ruled a goal until a video review by the officials
Tying the game up before the period was over, Mason Bergh scored for the Komets.
Adding a pair of goals in the first half of the second period, Luke Sandler and Tanner Sorenson both scored their first goals of the year, to make it a 4- 2 game.
Brad Morrison pulled the Komets to within one with his first of the season to make it a 4-3 contest heading into the final period.
