Kansas City opened the scoring just three and a half minutes into the game with a goal on the first shot by Hugo Roy. Less than a minute later, Pascal Laberge made it 2-0 for the Mavericks. At 6:11, Luke Stevens added to Kansas City’s lead making it 3-0. Ryan Harrison scored at 14:08 to make it 4-0, which is how the first period ended.
At the start of the second period, Mitchell Weeks took over in the Fuel’s net for Cam Gray.
Alex Wideman scored at 4:08 of the second period with the help of Chad Yetman to make it 4-1. Less than two minutes later, Conner Jean scored his first ECHL goal to make it 4-2. Carson Rose and Jared Thomas both claimed assists.
Late in the second, a large scuffle ensued behind the Kansas City goaltender and Indy’s Seamus Malone was ushered off the ice. The only resulting penalty was a slashing call on Thomas.
The Mavericks took advantage and scored a power play goal to make it 5-2 with a goal by John Schiavo.
At 1:07 of the period, Jordan Sambrook took a holding call. With just one second left on the power play, Andrew Perrott scored his third goal of the season with a slap shot that blew past Kansas City goaltender Shane Starrett. 22 seconds later, the Mavericks gave it right back with a goal from Jay Powell.
About 12 minutes into the third period, Jared Thomas was given a penalty shot opportunity after a play prevented his shot attempt. Starrett blocked the shot.
A few more penalties were assessed but killed off through the end of the game and ultimately it was the Fuel who fell to the Mavericks 6-3 on Sunday after winning with that same score against them just a day prior.
The Indy Fuel are back in action at Indiana Farmers Coliseum on Friday, February 10 at 7 p.m. against the Iowa Heartlanders for Indy 500 Night.
