Iowa Heartlanders News Release
Indianapolis, IN - The Iowa Heartlanders suffered a 5-2 loss to the Indy Fuel Friday at Indiana Farmers Coliseum. Michael Pastujov had two assists in his professional debut, including a marvelous deke and set up to T.J. Fergus midway through the third to make it 4-2. Indy bagged an empty netter to complete the scoring thanks to Jan Mandat, who registered his first ECHL hat trick.
Hunter Jones blocked 31 in defeat. Zach Driscoll won with 22 saves.
Indy scored the first two goals of the game; Mandat opened with a short-handed goal at 8:56 and Alex Wideman deposited a right-post hopper at 16:49.
In the second, Chad Yetman scored on a backdoor, right-post pass from Mitch Hoelscher to make it 3-0. Seven seconds later, Iowa got on the board to cut the lead back to two. Off the face-off at center ice, Zach White knifed through the middle over the right side of the Fuel line and shot it off Tommy Parrottino's stick. The puck redirected in at the left post for Parrottino's second as a pro. White and Michael Pastujov assisted.
Six minutes after Iowa's first goal, Indy struck back with Mandat's second of the game, making it 4-1.
In the third, Fergus scored with about eight minutes left to cut the Indy advantage to two. Striding in at the right slot, Fergus received a beautiful pass cross slot from Pastujov and Fergus sniped in his first pro goal.
