Taking their second lead of the game, Indy's Ryan Van Stralen would pounce on a Wings turnover and force a rebound that would end up on the stick of Michael Doherty, who put it in the back of the net.
Handing Indy a 3-1 lead in the third period, Bobby MacIntyre got alone in the Kalamazoo defensive zone and beat Jake Hildebrand with a wrist shot. After back to back coincidental penalties for each team, Kalamazoo's Mitch Eliot weaved through the Fuel defense and threw a wrist shot at the net, beating Charles Williams.
