The Toledo Walleye rode three power play goals to a 4-3 win Sunday afternoon over the Indy Fuel at Indiana Farmers Coliseum.
Josh Shalla, Dominic Zombo and Joel Chouinard all scored with the man advantage for Toledo (16-7-1-3). Chouinard's goal at 10:37 of the third period broke a 3-3 deadlock, beating relief goaltender Mac Carruth (19:02, 7 saves) for the game-winning goal and handing the Fuel netminder a hard-luck loss in the process.
Shane Owen (40 minutes, 13 saves) started the game for Indy but gave up three goals in the first two periods and was replaced by Carruth to start the third period.
The Fuel power play was also sharp on the evening, going 2-for-5 thanks to goals from Rhett Bly and Daniel Ciampini. Indy scored all three of its goals in the second period.
Indy will now break for the Christmas Holiday and come back to action on Saturday, December 26th in Quad City against the Mallards at 8:05 pm ET. The Morellis Cleaners Pre-game Show starts 15 minutes before every puck drop on CBS Sports 1430.
