Cody Laskosky supplied all the offense the Indy Fuel needed Friday night, and goaltender Owen Flores delivered a highlight-reel performance to secure a 2-1 victory over the Adirondack Thunder at the Fishers Event Center.

Both teams skated to a scoreless first period, with defense dominating the opening 20 minutes.

Tensions rose midway through the game when Indy’s Jadon Joseph and Adirondack’s Ryan Wheeler dropped the gloves, earning matching penalties. Wheeler also drew an unsportsmanlike conduct call, giving the Fuel a power play, but Indy was unable to convert.

Laskosky broke the deadlock with 4:30 remaining in the second period, then struck again with about 12 minutes left in the third to put the Fuel up 2-0.

Adirondack pulled goaltender Jeremy Brodeur with two minutes to play, and the gamble paid off briefly as Tyson Fawcett scored with 1:16 remaining. But the Fuel defense held firm in the final moments, securing the team’s seventh win of the young season. Indy now stands at 7-6-1.

The Fuel and Thunder meet again Saturday for Racers Night, honoring Indianapolis’ former WHA franchise. Puck drop is set for 7 p.m. at the Fishers Event Center.
