TULSA, OK – In the final game of a three game series between the Indy Fuel and Tulsa Oilers, the Fuel entered looking for their sixth straight win. Indy had won the previous two matchups prior to Saturday night while Tulsa was looking to snap their losing streak. Indy would see goals from Willie Raskob, Nic Pierog and Antoine Waked before Joe Sullivan would bury the empty netter to give Indy a 4-2 win. 
Tulsa would get the scoring going on their first shot of the game when Justin Hamonic would fire a loose puck past Fuel goaltender Taran Kozun. Jumping on a Tulsa turnover, Pierog and Michael McNicholas created a back-door chance for Raskob who beat Tulsa goaltender Roman Durny.
Controlling the majority of the first period, Indy limited Tulsa to one shot through the first seven minutes. Earning a 5-on-3 power play, the Fuel threw multiple pucks on net but Tulsa goaltender Roman Durny held them off. Taking advantage of a power play mid-way through the second period, former Fuel defenseman Alex Brooks beat Kozun with a wrist shot to give Tulsa a 2-1 lead.
After getting the majority of the chances to start the third period, Indy was unable to beat Durny. With just over five minutes remaining in the period, Pierog finally beat Durny with a wrist shot to tie the game at two goals apiece. Two minutes remaining in the game, Waked got alone in the slot and beat Durny with a slap shot to hand Indy a 3-2 lead. Joe Sullivan put home an empty netter to give Indy the eventual 4-2 win over Tulsa.
The Fuel move on to Wichita for a Sunday afternoon tilt. Puck drop is set for 5:05 p.m.
