Early Second-Period Goals Solve Iowa, 3-1

January 11, 2023 - ECHL (ECHL)
Iowa Heartlanders News Release


Indianapolis, IN - The Iowa Heartlanders allowed two second-period goals three minutes after tying the game and the Indy Fuel never trailed again in a 3-1 win Wednesday at the Indiana Farmers Coliseum. Nolan Orzeck scored his third professional goal.

Trailing by one at the start of the second, Orzeck went top shelf to even the game at one 4:26 into the second. The rookie drove through the middle coast-to-coast and put his wrister high off the shoulder of the goaltender. It popped in the air and went off the back of Zach Driscoll and in. The tie lasted 77 seconds; Carson Rose scored his first ECHL goal at 5:43. Next, Cameron Hillis potted 1:45 later and Indy led, 3-1, after two.

Indy's Luc Brown scored with 4.4 seconds left in the first for a power-play goal to make it 1-0 Fuel. That meant the Fuel scored three times in an eight-minute span including their two goals in the second period.

Corbin Kaczperski made 31 denials in defeat.

Driscoll blocked 20 shots in victory.
