FUEL OPEN THREE GAMES AT HOME, FIRST AGAINST RIVAL FORT WAYNE

Thursday, March 6th

INDIANAPOLIS- With the playoffs on the horizon, the Fuel looks to gain critical points this weekend against divisional and non-divisional foes. With the last game against the Komets being a tough 7-2 loss, the Fuel hopes to even up the scoring.

GOALTENDING MATCHUP

It’s no secret that the Central division has some of the strongest goaltending, we see that with the Fuel and the Komets. Ben Gaudreau is ranked 13th in the league with a 2.46 goals against average while K’s Brett Brochu is 19th with 2.57 GAA. When the Fuel and Komets play, these two goaltenders see lots of shots and are critical to divisional penalty kills. Even if they don't play this weekend, goaltending will be important for both teams.

WHO RUN THE WORLD?

This game will be the first of a home 3-in-3 for the Fuel. The K’s are coming off a 4-3 win in Bloomington on Wednesday and do not play Saturday. That means Fort Wayne will have a little more rest to use against the Fuel. With these two teams having played lots of games against each other and a few to go still; the Fuel will need to control the energy and not take unnecessary penalties.
