Tallying two goals and two assists on Saturday night, Matt Marcinew has five points in his last two games. The Calgary, Alberta native had been struggling to string together points prior to Friday but was part of four out of Indy’s seven goals on Saturday night.
BRILLIANT BAKALA
Through his last two starts, Fuel goaltender Dan Bakala has made 53 saves on 57 shots faced. Appearing in 19 games for the Fuel this season, the 33-year-old goaltender sits in second place in the ECHL in wins and in third place in goals-against average.
