The Indy Fuel have been playing a lot of close games of late, winning Saturday against the Wichita Thunder, but Sunday it was the Thunder coming out on top 5-4.  A power play goal by Wichita’s Kobe Walker with 4:19 remaining in the third period cemented the victory for the Thunder.

Kyle Maksimovich, Jesse Tucker, Kevin Lynch and Nathan Burke all lit the lamp for the home team, but it wasn’t enough to counter the Thunder’s 5 goals, included a short-handed one by Dominic Dockery in Period 2.

A glove dropping fist-fight between the Fuel’s Chris Cameron and Wichita’s Dillon Boucher resulted in each earning a 5 minute fighting penalty.

This is a setback in the Fuel’s quest for a playoff spot.  Indy’s next game is at the Fishers Event Center, 7pm, against Kalamazoo.
