Fuel Rally to Top Komets 4-3 in Overtime Thriller

In front of a sellout crowd of 6,601 fans at the Fishers Event Center, the Indy Fuel pulled off a dramatic 4-3 overtime victory over the Fort Wayne Komets on Saturday night.

After falling behind 2-0 early in the second period, the Fuel clawed their way back with goals from Colin Bilek—who scored twice—Ty Farmer, and ultimately Cam Hausinger, who netted the game-winner on a power play tip-in during the extra frame.

The back-and-forth battle saw tempers flare in the third, including a fight just seconds after Fort Wayne reclaimed the lead at 3-2. Bilek responded with a clutch power play goal to tie things up and force overtime.

Goaltender Ben Gaudreau stood tall for the Fuel, and Indy outshot Fort Wayne 28-21 overall.

The win is a crucial one for Indy as the playoff race heats up, and it added another fiery chapter to the always-intense in-state rivalry.
