INDIANAPOLIS - The Fuel head to Fort Wayne for game 69 of the regular season.
LAST TIME OUT
Just over a week ago, these two teams met in Fort Wayne in a back-and-forth affair.
In each period, the Komets would start the scoring but the Fuel would answer in that same period, leaving each one tied at the end of each 20 minutes.
The game would carry into overtime tied at three and, just under two minutes into overtime, Seamus Malone would not only win the game for the Fuel but set the franchise record for most game-winning goals with 10.
FILLING BIG SKATES
The Fuel will be skating without Cam Hillis and Colin Bilek this weekend, two of their best top-line skaters and scorers.
Ryan Gagnier will be looked at to step up and command that top-line center role and role players like Cam Hausinger and Andrew Bellant will need to step up for the Fuel to pull away another win against the Komets this season.
AROUND THE DIVISION
The Toledo Walleye hold the lead in the division with 99 points and have locked up the number one seed in the Western Central Division.
