Killing off two penalties in the second period, Indy was outshot 11-8 by the Komets. Indy’s Romeo stopped all 11 shots he faced, sending the Komets into the locker room scoreless after forty minutes of play.
The Fuel were outshot 13-6 in the final stanza but Romeo and the Indy defense weathered the storm. Each team earned a chance on the man-advantage but nobody was able to convert. Indy defended a barrage of chances from the Komets late in the third to take the eventual 1-0 win.
Indy returns to the ice on Wednesday as the Fuel begin a four-game set with the Rapid City Rush on the road.
