FUEL FINISH WEEKEND WITH SHUTOUT IN CINCY

CINCINNATI - The Fuel traveled to Cincinnati for their fourth game in five days. Ryan Kenny would get his first start in a Fuel uniform and make it count with a crucial 2-0 divisional shutout.

1ST PERIOD

It didn’t take long before Nathan Burke broke the silence. At 1:15, the first shot of the game and the first goal were recorded. That would be Burke’s 12th goal of the season.

There were three total power plays in the period, two for Cincinnati and one for Indy, but no goals would come.

The Cyclones would end the period outshooting the Fuel eight to seven.

2ND PERIOD

The lone action seen in the second frame was a power play for the Fuel just two minutes into the period.

The Fuel outshot the Cyclones six to five in the period, and after 40 minutes, the shooting evened out at 13 shots per team.

3RD PERIOD

The quiet of the second period did not carry over to the third for very long. Colin Bilek found the back of the net at 3:01 to extend the Fuel lead to two. The goal would give Bilek his 14th of the season.

That goal would prove the nail in the coffin as Cincinnati would be unable to convert on any of their 21 shots. The Fuel would win 2-0 and, in the same afternoon, Ryan Kenny would record his first ECHL win and shutout.
