It took 3 games to get it done, but the Indy Fuel notched their very first win at their new Fishers Event Center home, 6-0 over the visitors, the Americans from Allen, Texas. The Fuel now have 9 wins on the young ECHL season.
It is not often the shots on goal are this lopsided….the Fuel had 33, the Allen Americans only 6.
The Fuel dominated the contest, but didn’t score until there was 1:53 left in Period 1, Colin Bilek putting the puck in the net. Andrew Bellant scored early in Period 2 and Bilek picked up his second goal of the game with seconds remaining.
Matus Spodniak and Thomas Farrell each tallied goals in Period 3 to put the win away for the home team.
Joe Vrbetic pitched a shutout in goal Friday night.
The crowd wasn’t quite the size of the first home weekend, but the crowd was good and boisterous as usual.
Their were two fights Friday night, but neither resulted in power play goals.
The Fuel are back in action at the Events Center Saturday night, facing the Wings from Kalamazoo
