LAST TIME OUT
Playing their fourth and final game of the week, the Indy Fuel hosted the Kalamazoo Wings on Sunday, March 27. Both teams would trade goals throughout the game until Kalamazoo scored three unanswered goals to go on to win 5-2.
30 GOAL SCORER
Picking up a goal in Indy’s 6-2 win over Iowa on Sunday, Spencer Watson tallied his 30th goal of the season. The fifth-year pro has tallied 30 goals in a season twice in his career, the last time coming in 2019-20 when he set the Fuel franchise record for goals in a season (31). On pace to break that record, Watson is only five goals away from tying the franchise record for all-time goals held by Josh Shalla.
OFFENSIVE EXPLOSION
Playing four games during week 24, the Fuel outscored their opponents 16-9. Since becoming the Interim Head Coach, Duncan Dalmao has led the Fuel to a 7-4 record and has outscored their opponents 40-33. Dalmao’s power play has struggled since he took over the bench only scoring on 5-of-33, however, his penalty kill has been stellar, killing off 85.7% of their penalties.
STAY OUT OF THE BOX
Facing the Wings for the final time this season, the Fuel faces a team that has dominated them on special teams. Entering Tuesday night, the Kalamazoo Wings have scored on 20-of-43 of their power plays against the Fuel, in comparison to their 22-for-173 record against the rest of the ECHL. averaging 15.7 penalty minutes per game this season, the Fuel will need to stay out of the penalty box in order to keep their playoff hopes alive going forward.
