INDIANAPOLIS- The Fuel will host the Toledo Walleye on Tuesday night. This will be just the third meeting between these divisional opponents, as the Fuel look to claim the fourth place spot in the Central division standings. The Walleye currently sit atop the standings, having already clinched the playoffs.
LAST TIME OUT
The last time these two teams met was December 28, 2024 when the Walleye visited the Fuel and took home a 4-1 win. League scoring leader Brandon Hawkins had a two-goal night while Tyler Spezia had two assists. Ryan Orgel had the lone goal for the Fuel, who is no longer on the team. Things got chippy between these two teams in this game as they typically do. There were a total of 54 penalty minutes, including ten roughing minors, fighting majors, and misconduct calls.
GONE FISHING
Both the Walleye and the Fort Wayne Komets have secured their spot in the playoffs, Iowa sits in third place in the Central division with a nice cushion ahead of the real race for the fourth and final spot between the Fuel, the Kalamazoo Wings, and the Bloomington Bison. The Fuel and the Wings have a game in hand on the Bison, though all three teams are separated by five points or less in the race to take on the Walleye in the first round of the Kelly Cup Playoffs.
