The two teams entered the intermission knotted at 1-1.Lions captain Cédric Montminy scored his 15th of the season to open the second period and give the Lions a 2-1 lead. The Fuel followed that up with a goal of their own courtesy Spencer Watson and at the end of the second period the score was 2-2.The third period started with the Fuel’s Riley McKay giving Indy a 3-2 lead, but less than two minutes later Trois-Rivières’ Hayden Shaw’s powerful shot found the back of the Fuel net and the score was once again tied. Just over three minutes later Indy took the lead yet again on a goal by C.J. Eick. And that’s the way the game ended, with the final score Indy-4, Lions-3.Next stop for the Lions is Newfoundland, where the team will start a four-game series against the Growlers on Wednesday night.
