INDY FUEL WEEK 2 SCHEDULE:
Saturday, October 30 - Fuel at Cincinnati (7:35 p.m. ET, Heritage Bank Center)
GOING ON THE ROAD
After opening up the 2021-22 campaign at Indiana Farmers Coliseum, the Fuel will head to Cincinnati on Saturday night for their only game of the weekend. Indy played one preseason game at Heritage Bank Center and lost 4-1. After dropping their home opener 3-2, the Fuel will be looking to bounce back on Saturday night.
BOUNCING BACK
Falling to the Cyclones 3-2, Doug Christiansen has a full week of practice before facing Cincinnati again on Saturday. "I think we need to be in a little bit better shape," said Christiansen. "But there's only one game to get into game shape. That's really hard. I think we can work a little bit on that and then at the same token clean up some of those mental mistakes because that was really what cost us the game (on Saturday)."

Mike Lee picked up two assists in his first game on Saturday
Lee is tied for third among ECHL defensemen in points
