The Komets returned to Fishers Event Center with sights on taking a 3-1 series lead against the Fuel.

With the Fuel on the penalty kill, the Komets found the back of the net late in the first period as Austin Magera took a pass from Matt Miller that deflected off the stick of Indy goaltender Owen Flores and into the net to give the Komets the lead at 19:05.

In the second period, Matt Miller lit the lamp to push the Komet lead to 2-0 on a power-play at 10:07, but the Fuel answered at 14:29 to cut the lead back to one heading into the second intermission.

Rookie Reid Pabich gave the Komets another two-goal lead with his first goal of the playoffs at 4:07. As time ticked away, the Fuel pressed, scoring a goal with the extra skater at 18:43 to back the lead down to one goal, but Sam Jonsson held the remainder of regulation, getting the win, making 20 saves.
