A little over a minute later A.J. Jenkins put one in the back of the net on a power play opportunity to send the bears flying on Fort Wayne's Teddy Bear Toss night.

Matt Schmalz stole the puck from Olivier Galipeau and crossed it to Micheal Doherty who rocketed a shot between the two circles to give the Fuel a 3-1 lead at the end of the first.

With one minute remaining in regulation Fort Wayne pulled Kehler for the extra attacker and Jason Binkley sent the puck flying into the back of the net to send the two teams into overtime.
