CORALVILLE- The Fuel will head to Iowa to take on the Heartlanders in the first of three games in a row this weekend. These games will be important as the Fuel needs to rack up some standings points to hold their playoff spot in the Central division. They will finish the season after this series, with games against Wheeling and Fort Wayne.
LAST TIME OUT
The last time these two teams met was on February 28, 2026 when the Fuel hosted the Heartlanders and were shutout 2-0. With two first period goals, Iowa held their lead for the remainder of the game while William Rousseau blocked all 23 shots Indy recorded.
DIVISIONAL BALANCE
While Iowa sits in last place in the Central division, these games will be very important to Indy as they could hold onto their third place spot in the division and the playoffs. Kalamazoo, Bloomington, and Cincinnati are hot on their tail though, all still very able to claim a playoff spot or two. Getting two points in every game this weekend will be very important for Indy.
