The Indy Fuel capped off a grueling stretch of four games in five days with a statement win, shutting out the Cincinnati Cyclones 2-0 on Sunday afternoon. Goaltender Ryan Kenny made his first start in a Fuel uniform and delivered a standout performance, stopping all 21 shots he faced to secure his first ECHL victory and shutout.

Indy wasted no time getting on the board, as Nathan Burke struck just 1:15 into the contest with the game’s first shot. The goal marked Burke’s 12th tally of the season and set the tone for a defensively sound contest.

Despite three power-play opportunities—two for Cincinnati and one for Indy—neither team managed to capitalize. The Cyclones held a slight edge in shots, outshooting the Fuel 8-7 in the opening frame.

The middle stanza was largely uneventful, with the only notable action being a Fuel power play two minutes into the period. Both teams remained locked in defensively, with Indy edging Cincinnati in shots 6-5. By the end of 40 minutes, the shots were even at 13 apiece.

The Fuel doubled their lead early in the third when Colin Bilek found the back of the net at 3:01, registering his 14th goal of the season. That insurance tally would prove more than enough.

The Cyclones peppered the Fuel net with 21 total shots but could not solve the goaltender. Kenny’s shutout performance ensured Indy’s victory, cementing a crucial divisional win.

The Fuel return home to the Fishers Event Center Wednesday at 7pm, facing the Fort Wayne Komets.
