INDIANAPOLIS- The Fuel head to Bloomington for the start of a four-game series against the Bison. The postponed game in January was moved to Sunday, marking five games in seven days for Indy. Both teams are fighting for key divisional playoff points heading into March.
FULL STRENGTH SUCCESS
The Fuel have had just three special teams opportunities against the Bison, all of which were unsuccessful. Bloomington, however, has scored a power play goal, getting five opportunities on the man advantage. While these two teams have not racked up penalty minutes before this series, tensions will grow as both teams chase the playoffs. The Fuel was strong on the penalty kill against Fort Wayne on Wednesday and look to continue that success against Bloomington.
A LOW-SCORING AFFAIR
Both teams have scored just three goals against each other in two games. The Fuel shut out Bloomington 2-0 in November, only for the Bison to fight back 3-1 in December. Both teams claimed a loss in their own building. The Fuel also found preseason success in Bloomington; however, it was also a low-scoring affair. In their recent games, the Fuel have scored two or three goals, finally breaking out of their early season scoring funk. Scoring chances will be at a premium, so the Fuel must never lose sight of the play.
