Friday night was the first time the Indy Fuel ever had a female referee, Sydney Harris. That was the most memorable thing Fuel fans can take away from this game against the Kalamazoo Wings. The final score was 6-2, Wings.
The Fuel were never in this game, as Kalamazoo tallied 3 goals in period 1, including a short handed score.
Nathan Burke did pick up his 18th goal of the season in Period 2, but the Wings found the back of the net twice. It was Wings 5 Fuel 2, at the end of 2.
In Period 3 Lucas Brenton lit the lamp for the Fuel, bringing the score to 5-2. 4 minutes later, the Wings scored again, bringing the score to 6-2, which ended up being the final tally.
This loss will not make it easier for the Fuel as they battle the Wings, Bloomington and Cincinnati for the final playoff spot in the ECHL Central Division.
Indy travels to Cincinnati to take on the Cyclones tomorrow (Saturday) night. The Fuel return to the Fishers Event Center for their third game in 3 days Sunday at 4pm, facing the Fort Wayne Komets.
