The Indy Fuel turned in a dominant performance Saturday night, defeating the Utah Grizzlies 4-0 in the second game of a back-to-back series.
Indy appeared to strike early when Eric Martin found the net just minutes into the first period, but the goal was overturned following a review for goaltender interference. The Fuel regrouped and broke through later in the period when captain Chris Cameron scored at the 16:03 mark, assisted by Jesse Tucker and Alex DiPaolo, giving Indy a 1-0 lead after one.
The Fuel extended their advantage early in the second period. DiPaolo notched his second point of the night, scoring off assists from Cody Laskosky and Matt Petgrave to make it 2-0. Despite being outshot 14-13 through two periods, Indy’s defense held firm and killed off multiple penalties to maintain control.
In the third, the Fuel continued to apply pressure. Michael Marchesan added an insurance goal at 14:39, with assists from Dustin Manz and Christian Berger. Just two minutes later, Jordan Martin capped the scoring, finishing off a play set up by Tyler Weiss and Jay Ahearn.
Goaltender Mitchell Weeks anchored the shutout effort, recording his sixth shutout with the Fuel—a franchise record he already held.
The win marks another strong showing for Indy, which has now outscored Utah by a combined 8-0 over the first two games of the series. The teams are scheduled to meet again Sunday afternoon to wrap up the weekend set.
