INDIANAPOLIS - Peter Schneider scored the game-winning goal and added an assist as the Indy Fuel (9-3-1-0) remained a perfect 6-0 at home, beating the Quad City Mallards (7-5-1-2) 3-2 at Indiana Farmers Coliseum on Saturday night.
Schneider's goal at 11:41 of the third period gave the Fuel a 3-1 advantage at the time, and came off an opportunity generated by the forward's speed. He chased down a puck in the Mallards' end, cut back to his right and shot the puck through the defenseman over the left shoulder of goaltender Brody Hoffman (19 saves) for the score.
After a scoreless opening frame, the Fuel opened the second with the game's first goal from captain Zach Miskovic at 2:40, his first of the season.
The Mallards would even the game at 1-1 on Darren McMillan's first of the season at 11:54, but Kyle Stroh gave the Fuel the lead once again at 18:14 on an excellent individual effort, battling through traffic and beating Hoffman with a wrist shot from the low slot.
Quad City added a late six-on-five goal with 4.2 seconds remaining for the 3-2 final.
Mac Carruth earned the win for the Fuel with 30 saves as Indy won its fifth-straight contest. The two teams will go head-to-head again tomorrow afternoon at 5 p.m. ET from Moline, IL.
