LAST TIME OUT

Nailers veteran Matthew Quercia leads the team in points with thirteen, including five goals. All three goalies for Wheeling have found success this season so far but Jake Smith leads the team with five wins and zero losses. He comes into this game with a save percentage of .953.
TAKE ME HOME
The Fuel will return to Indy for Thanksgiving and a two-game set against Fort Wayne and Toledo at home on Friday and Saturday respectively. Both teams sit in front of the Fuel in the Central division standings. The Komets play on Wednesday night as well as Thanksgiving day against the Kalamazoo Wings so Indy might have an advantage with more rest this week.
