INDIANAPOLIS- The Fuel will begin their weekend on the road in Kalamazoo with their twelfth meeting with the Wings this season on Friday night.
LAST TIME OUT
The last time these two teams met was January 28 when the Fuel visited Kalamazoo and the K-Wings took a 4-1 win despite Matus Spodniak scoring first for the Fuel. Hunter Vorva made 42 saves in net for Kalamazoo while Cam Gray made 19.
SPECIAL TEAMS
The Fuel run in the middle of the pack when it comes to their power play, ranked thirteenth overall in the league whereas their penalty kill is ranked eleventh. In spite of this, special teams have proved to be very important to Indy this season. They are 21-5-4-0 when scoring a power play goal and 5-1-0-0 when scoring a shorthanded goal. They also have a winning record this season when not allowing a power play goal.
STANDINGS BATTLE
The Fuel head into the weekend still tied with Wheeling for second place in the Central division. They are nine points behind Toledo who are on a three-game win streak. With the entire division playing against each other this weekend, there is potential for Fuel to end up anywhere from second to fourth place by Monday.
