LAST TIME OUT

Beginning three games in three days, the Fuel hosted the Mountain Division's Tulsa Oilers for Hockey Fights Cancer Night. Indy would score the first goal of the game only to see Tulsa respond with a goal of their own to finish out the second period. In a six-goal third period, Indy would close out the matchup with a 6-2 win over the Oilers.

MAKING MOVES

In the last week, the Indy Fuel have made several moves in response to AHL call-ups as well as players being placed on the Commissioner’s Exempt List. With top scorers Derek Barach and Matt Marcinew earning AHL deals, the Fuel have signed forwards Nick Hutchison and Michael McNicholas. Both players will lend to the team’s depth at forward. 

INDIANAPOLIS CHRISTOPOULOS 

With goaltender Dan Bakala being added to the Commissioner’s Exempt List, Billy Christopoulos will play his first games as a member of the Indy Fuel. The second-year pro was one of the ECHL’s top goaltenders during the 2019-20 season earning a 2.29 goals-against average and a league-best .932 save percentage.
