LAST TIME OUT

In their fourth game in five days, the Indy Fuel hosted the Greenville Swamp Rabbits for the third game of the weekend at Indiana Farmers Coliseum. Indy would score four straight goals in the second and third periods as well as see a shutout from Billy Christopoulos en route to a 4-0 win on Sunday afternoon. 

CHANCE FOR REDEMPTION

Tuesday night will be the first playoff game played at Indiana Farmers Coliseum since April of 2018. Playing a best-of-seven series, the Fuel were swept by the Toledo Walleye in four games. Playing a best-of-five series against the Swamp Rabbits on Tuesday, Indy will be looking for the franchise’s first ever playoff win. No stranger to playoffs, Doug Christiansen led the Manchester Monarchs to the second round of the 2019 Kelly Cup Playoffs where they lost to the eventual Kelly Cup Champion Newfoundland Growlers.
