INDIANAPOLIS- The Fuel will host the Wheeling Nailers on Sunday to finish out their weekend before heading to Adirondack for a three-game set against the Thunder. This will be Indy’s last game against Wheeling this season.
LAST TIME OUT
The last time these two teams met was February 7 when the Nailers visited the Fishers Event Center and took a 6-3 victory over the Fuel. With three shorthanded goals and two power play goals in the game, special teams played a huge role in the outcome. Matt Koopman and Gabe Klassen had back-to-back shorthanded goals for Wheeling in the second period while a late-game rally by the Fuel saw a shorty from Darby Llewellyn and a power play goal from Colin Bilek in the final minutes.
NAILED DOWN
Since making the switch to the North division this season, the Nailers have found success and find themselves in a very good position to make the playoffs as it stands. They are in second place, ten points behind the Trois-Rivieres Lions and three points ahead of the Norfolk Admirals, who sit nine points ahead of Reading and Worcester who will battle for the fourth playoff spot.
