FUEL FACE NAILERS IN MUST-WIN GAME FIVE

INDIANAPOLIS- The Fuel will look to stay alive in the playoffs with a win over Wheeling on Saturday night. If they can claim a second win in the series, both teams will head back to Indy, giving the Fuel home ice advantage in their efforts to avoid elimination. 

LAST TIME OUT

The last time these teams met was Tuesday night in Wheeling when the Nailers shut out the Fuel, 3-0. Jordan Martel had two power play goals to swing the momentum in Wheeling’s favor. The Fuel had four power play chances but could not capitalize on them. 

SPECIAL TEAMS, SPECIAL PLAYERS

Through the first four games of this series, the Fuel have struggled with success on special teams. With ample power play opportunities, they haven’t been able to connect with the man advantage. They have also struggled to stay disciplined, taking a penalty of their own three times while on the power play in their last game. A key to success for the Fuel will be conquering special teams.
