Wednesday night, both the Indy Fuel and Maine Mariners were clearly in need of a win.  It was a hard fought contest that went to overtime tied 3-3 when Jacob Hudson of the Mariners notched the winning goal on the OT period.

The game started with 2 Fuel goals from Nathan Burke and another by Kevin Lombardi in Period 1, and it appeared the Fuel had control of the ice.  Then, 2 Maine goals within seconds of each other, from Carter Johnson and Xander Lamppa, brought the score to a 3-2 Fuel advantage at the end of Period 1.

In the second period, Maine tied the score 3-3 with a Brooklyn Kalmikov goal.

There was no scoring in Period 3, leading to the 3-on-3 overtime period where the Mariners notched the winning goal from Jacob Hudson, with a final score of 4-3.

Wednesday night’s game was only the second time these 2 clubs have faced each other.

The Fuel are back at the Fishers Event Center Friday, facing the Kalamazoo Wings.
