INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – The Komets took a split of a home-and-home series against intrastate rival Indy Saturday night with a 3-2 victory at the Indiana Farmers Coliseum.

Martin earned his sixth win of the season (6-3-0) making 31 saves on 33 shots while Fuel netminder Shane Owen suffered his ninth loss (5-9-0) allowing three goals on 31 shots.
