INDIANAPOLIS- The Indy Fuel look to gain in the win column after a tough weekend in Iowa. This team hasn’t seen the Maine Mainers since 2019 and have never hosted them at home before. It’s a wild Wednesday night of hockey, with both teams needing points.
FORMER MAINERS LOOK TO SHINE
The last time the Fuel took on the Maine Mainers was in 2019, in Maine. The Fuel have never had a home game against this team. However, that one game was special. As the Fuel shut out Maine 6-0, Chase Marchand took the win in net. Fuel legend Spencer Watson had two goals and an assist, plus current Fuel member Nathan Noel also scored. Before rejoining the Fuel this season, Noel played 24 games with the Mainers last season. Bennett Stockdale came to the Fuel this year via trade and newly acquired William Provost also played for Maine last season. Since the Fuel haven’t seen much of Maine during their eleven years of existence, they will turn to those who have played with them to break through offensively.
FILL IN THE GAPS
Just after returning to the ice from injury, forward Kyle Maksimovich has been recalled to the Rockford IceHogs. Alongside him in the recall were DJ King and Ryan Gagnier. While the Fuel continues to be last in the league in shots for with a 2.09 average, their defense still has them in second place for shots against with 2.27 per game. With some top line guys called up, others on the team will need to step it up with minutes and on special teams play.
