The Indy Fuel dropped Game 3 of the Central Division Semifinals Monday night, falling 5-3 to the Toledo Walleye at the Fishers Event Center. With the loss, the Fuel now trail 0-3 in the best-of-seven Kelly Cup Playoff series.

Bryan Lemos opened the scoring for Indy at 11:40 of the first period, giving the Fuel their first lead of the series. However, Toledo answered just as a Fuel penalty expired, with Billy Moskal tying the game 1-1 late in the opening frame.

The Walleye took control in a high-scoring second period, netting four goals. Brandon Hawkins scored twice, while Mitchell Lewandowski and Carson Bantle each added a goal to push Toledo ahead 5-2. Kevin Lombardi gave the Fuel some life with a second-period power play goal and added another in the third, but it wasn’t enough to close the gap.

Ryan Ouellette replaced Ben Gaudreau in net for Indy to start the third period, but the Fuel couldn’t find the offense needed to mount a comeback.

The series continues Tuesday night in Fishers, where the Fuel will look to avoid elimination in Game 4. Puck drop is scheduled for 7 p.m. at Fishers Event Center.
