FUEL FACE FORT WAYNE IN FRIDAY NIGHT MATCHUP

INDIANAPOLIS- The Fuel will start the weekend in Fort Wayne, taking on the Komets as they push for a playoff spot in the Central division. The Fuel currently trail the Bloomington Bison two points in the standings, and the Komets fifteen points. 

LAST TIME OUT

The last time these two teams met was Wednesday, February 19 when the Fuel hosted the Komets and ultimately fell to them 4-3 in overtime. Cam Hausinger, Ethan Manderville, and Ty Farmer claimed the Fuel’s three goals while Cam Gray earned Indy a point in overtime. 

STANDINGS BREAKDOWN

The Fuel currently sit in fifth place in the Central division behind the Bison who have two more points than Indy, however also have two more games played. The Komets sit in third place with 64 points, fifteen ahead of Indy and just three behind the second place Iowa Heartlanders who the Fuel will face in a two-game set this weekend.

REIGNITED RIVALRY 

Going into this game, the Fuel still have five games left against the Fort Wayne Komets this season. That is the most of any opponent remaining. With two meetings in March and two in April, tensions could rise between the two rival teams who want to represent Indiana in the Kelly Cup Playoffs.
