FISHERS - The Indy Fuel hosted the Utah Grizzlies for the second night in a row. Despite their first goal being overturned, the Fuel put out another four-goal statement win against the Grizzlies, shutting them out 4-0.
1ST PERIOD
Just a few minutes into the game, it appeared Eric Martin scored for Indy but after a goal review, it was overturned due to goaltender interference.
It was Martin who took the game's first penalty at 11:31. He was sent to the box for slashing.
At 16:03, Fuel captain Chris Cameron scored with the help of Jesse Tucker and Alex DiPaolo. This gave Indy the 1-0 lead.
Utah's Josh Zinger took a roughing penalty at 17:36, but the Grizzlies killed it off.
After one period, the Fuel were outshooting Utah, 9-8.
2ND PERIOD
DiPaolo earned his second point of the night with a goal to open the second period. Cody Laskosky and Matt Petgrave claimed the assists on the goal that gave Indy a 2-0 lead.
Tucker took a slashing penalty at 11:00 to put the Fuel on the penalty kill, and they were successful in killing it off.
Indy's Tyler Weiss took a tripping penalty at 19:57 which would carry over into the third period as time expired soon after.
Through two, Utah was outshooting Indy, 14-13 despite being down 2-0.
3RD PERIOD
After the Weiss penalty was killed off, it was Weiss again who went to the penalty box. This time, at 3:24, he was penalized for holding. Again, it was successfully killed off.
Michael Marchesan scored at 14:39 to make it 3-0 in favor of the Fuel, with the help of Dustin Manz and Christian Berger.
About two minutes later, Jordan Martin added another to make it 4-0. Fuel newcomers Weiss and Jay Ahearn claimed the assists.
Time expired soon after and Indy claimed the 4-0 victory. Mitchell Weeks claimed his sixth shutout with the Indy Fuel, a franchise record he already held.
These two teams will meet again tomorrow afternoon to close out the series.
