2ND PERIOD
Jack Collins headed to the penalty box at 2:56 after taking a tripping penalty, but Indy's Matt Petgrave sat for interference at 4:24. This forced some 4-on-4 time before giving Iowa a power play chance. They did not score.
Iowa's Matthew Argentina took a slashing penalty at 8:11, giving the Fuel another power play chance, but they could not score.
Next, Indy took back-to-back penalties from Eric Martin and Owen Robinson for tripping and holding the stick respectively.
