The Indy Fuel closed out their weekend in Iowa with another road victory, defeating the Iowa Heartlanders 3–2 on Sunday night as Eric Martin scored his second consecutive game-winning goal.

Iowa struck first after a scoreless opening stretch that included two early Indy power plays. The Fuel were unable to convert with the man advantage, and later paid the price when they went shorthanded midway through the period. With 34 seconds remaining on the power play, Keltie Jeri-Leon scored to give the Heartlanders a 1–0 lead.

The opening period also featured a physical edge, highlighted by a fight between Indy’s Cody Schiavon and Iowa’s Nick Carabin at 18:03. Both players received fighting majors, and Schiavon was also assessed an instigating minor. Despite outshooting Iowa 10–8, the Fuel trailed 1–0 after one period.

Indy evened the score early in the second period. Lee Lapid found the net at 3:38, finishing a setup from Brett Moravec and Christian Berger to make it 1–1. The Fuel penalty kill kept the game tied later in the period when Nick Grima was called for interference.

Another fight broke out at 16:12 between Michael Marchesan and Luke Mobley, with both players receiving majors. Iowa regained the lead at 18:40 on a goal by Matthew Sop, but the advantage lasted only 20 seconds. Terry Broadhurst answered quickly for Indy at 19:00, sending the teams into the second intermission tied 2–2.

The third period remained scoreless until the final minutes. Eric Martin broke the deadlock with the eventual game-winner, a goal that was reviewed for potential goaltender interference but ultimately upheld.

Iowa called a timeout with 41.5 seconds remaining in regulation in an effort to force overtime, but the Fuel held strong defensively to secure the 3–2 regulation win and complete a successful weekend on the road.
