FUEL TO HOST HISTORIC HOME OPENER IN NEW ARENA

INDIANAPOLIS — The Indy Fuel host the Iowa Heartlanders for the first time this season in the brand new Fishers Event Center. After a 15-game road trip, the wait is finally over for players, staff, and fans. Coming off of an aggressive three-game sweep in Utah, the Fuel looks to gather points against Central Division foes.

WITHOUT THE ‘C’

Due to leaving the bench for an altercation in the final game in Utah, captain Chris Cameron has been suspended for five games. The 6'4 defenseman has been an asset on the first defense pairing. The Fuel has an average of 23.33 shots against per game, the least in the league. Along with 1.87 goals against, the second least in the league. The Fuel will need to work around not having their captain by staying out of the box, supporting their defenseman, and most importantly not letting this suspension mess with their mentality.

NOT YOUR TYPICAL IOWA

Last year, the Fuel were 4-1-0-1 against Iowa, with the Fuel ranked second in the Central Division and Iowa seventh. This year, Iowa is currently second in the Central Division, just coming off of an overtime win against Toledo. Both teams also have a strong rookie goaltender defending the posts and a solid defense that minimizes opponents’ scoring chances.
