FISHERS- The Fuel will host the Cincinnati Cyclones on Friday night to kick off their weekend against two division rivals. They will see the Cyclones again on Saturday, before heading to Toledo on Sunday to face the Walleye.
LAST TIME OUT
The last time these two teams met was on October 30 when the Fuel visited Cincinnati and took a 2-1 win over the Cyclones. Brett Moravec and Jacob Leguerrier were the two goalscorers for the Fuel before John Jaworski scored a shorthanded goal in the last two minutes of the game to put Cincy on the board.
STANDINGS BREAKDOWN

Despite them having played the same number of games, Cincinnati have ten wins as opposed to the Fuel’s eight. Fort Wayne still sits atop the division, pulling away from the rest of the pack with 27 points and 13 wins.
ROOKIE TO WATCH
