INDIANAPOLIS- The Fuel will finish their weekend with a Sunday matchup against the Iowa Heartlanders, who they shut out last night in a record setting evening.
LAST TIME OUT
The last time these two teams met was last night when the Fuel shut out the Heartlanders in front of a sold out crowd of 6,611 fans. The 4-0 win marked the ninth shutout this season, setting a franchise record for most shutouts by the team in one year. Additionally, it was the first season that five separate goalies recorded a shutout. Cam Gray earned the win in his first victory since returning to the ice. Nathan Burke netted his sixth game winning goal and third in a row with the opening goal last night as well.
IMPORTANT POINTS
While the Toledo Walleye sit atop the Central division standings with 76 points and Iowa and Fort Wayne trade the second and third place spots in the division almost daily, the race for the fourth place and final playoff spot is heating up. The bottom four teams in the division all sit within five points of each other, with the Fuel reclaiming fourth place last night after a win and a Bloomington loss. Any ground the Fuel can cover in the standings this weekend will be imperative for the playoff push.
