FISHERS- The Fuel will travel to Iowa for the first time this season to take on the Heartlanders on Wednesday night. Looking to gain some ground in the Central division standings, Indy hopes to claim the win over the last place team.
LAST TIME OUT
The last time these two teams met was last season when the Heartlanders visited Indy on March 2, 2025. Iowa claimed the 4-2 victory, despite the Fuel outshooting them 29-16. The Heartlanders scored two power play goals and an empty-netter while the Fuel claimed one shorthanded goal, proving special teams made a big impact in that game.
SCOUTING REPORT
Iowa forward Jack O’Brien currently leads the Heartlanders with 20 points in 22 games, scoring ten goals and ten assists. He will be one to watch alongside Jaxon Nelson who is averaging over a point per game for Iowa. Former Fuel player Nathan Noel leads the team in penalty minutes with 51 and will likely look to get under the skin of his former teammates during their trip to Coralville.
WATCH THE SCHEDULE
After a packed November, the Fuel play just four home games in the month of December, and only one remains on December 28. In the meantime, Indy is on the road against some divisional opponents and an old foe in Wheeling. They have just four home games again in January, with nine on the road. The Fuel will hope to collect some regulation wins and climb the standings while on the road in the coming months.
