Mallards fall to Fuel 3-2

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Peter Schneider scored what proved to be the game winning goal in the third period and Mac Carruth made 30 saves as the host Indy Fuel (9-3-1) defeated the Quad City Mallards (7-6-3) 3-2 Saturday night.

Schneider buried a wrist shot from the left wing circle to give the Fuel a 3-1 lead at 11:41 of the third. That goal loomed all the larger after the Mallards’ Olivier Archambault tipped in an extra attacker goal with just four seconds left.

The Fuel never trailed. Zach Miskovic scored the game’s first goal with a drive from the right point at 2:40 of the second period. The Mallards’ Darren McMillan fired home an equalizer from the top of the left wing circle at 11:54 of the second, but the Fuel moved back in front for good when Kyle Stroh scored from the slot with just 1:46 left in the middle frame.
