Indy had an answerwith 2:53 left in the opening frame when Quentin Shore poke-checked the puck atthe Fuel’s blue line and raced ahead on a breakaway, before snapping a shotpast the glove of Oilers goaltender DevinWilliams to tie the game at 1-1.

Neither team managed to grab thelead through a scoreless second period, as the shots were even 13-13 in a 1-1game after 40 minutes. Both teams were unsuccessful on two second period powerplays.
