At 3:04, Dakota Seaman and Indy's Nathan Noel each got a minor penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct after an altercation along the boards.

Indy tied the game up at 17:41 with a goal by Cam Hausinger, assisted by Ryan Gagnier and Kevin Lombardi.

At the end of the second period, the Fuel were outshooting Wheeling 19-12.

3RD PERIOD

Wheeling's Matthew Quercia took a holding penalty at 6:37 to give the Fuel another power play advantage, however they killed it off.

As the Nailers caught up in shots, the game got progressively chippier until time expired in regulation and the game headed to overtime tied 1-1.

Through three periods, Indy had the edge in shots 26-25.

OVERTIME

The Nailers controlled possession in overtime, recording four shots in three minutes, but Fuel goalie Ben Gaudreau made every save.

At 3:28, Ryan Gagnier scored on a breakaway, giving the Fuel the 2-1 win on the first Fuel shot in overtime.
