After two scoreless periods Indy's power play got on the board in the third. Travis Brown got the visitor's on the board just under four minutes into the third period with a slap shot from the point. Brown's shot tucked inside the far post and past Kivlenieks to put the Fuel up 1-0. Less than two minutes later it was Brown who scored again.
