The Fuel are completing their second “4-in-5” of the season Sunday (four games in five days). Before playing the Heartlanders, the club started the week by splitting a pair of home games with the North-Division-leading Wheeling Nailers.

Cam Hausinger leads the Fuel with 12 goals.

Goaltender Ben Gaudreau has seen the majority of playing time for Indy, going 8-8-1-2 with a 2.18 goals-against average and .913 save percentage.

All-Time Series vs. Indy

Iowa has an all-time record of 11-15-2-0 against Indy. Iowa has a home record of 5-7-1-0 against the Fuel. 

Yuki Miura has three goals and nine points in his career against the Fuel. Dakota Raabe has pitched in six points (1g, 5a) since joining the Heartlanders midway through last season.

The series has often been defined by come-from-behind efforts; the Heartlanders have four ever against the Fuel and Indy has come from behind in slightly more than half of their wins all time against Iowa (10). The Heartlanders have led wire-to-wire in seven of their 11 wins ever vs. the Fuel.
