FISHERS, IN- For the second week in a row, the Wheeling Nailers showed tremendous ability to put a difficult result behind them and rebound with a victory. On Saturday night, the Nailers took their show on the road to Fishers Event Center and put five goals on the board to defeat the Indy Fuel, 5-2. Mike Posma led the way offensively with two goals, while Kasimir Kaskisuo earned the win in goal with 27 saves.

The Nailers had the exact first period they were looking for, as they scored twice, killed off a penalty, and held a 13-7 advantage in shots. The first marker came at the 9:33 mark, while the teams were playing 4-on-4. Dante Sheriff banked the puck off of the right wall to send Mike Posma on a breakaway. Posma kept it simple, as he sprinted down the middle and ripped a shot through Thomas Gale's legs. The goal was Wheeling's fourth of the year during 4-on-4 action. With 6:39 remaining, Kevin Gursoy turned a pass off of the right wing wall to Justin Taylor, who turned to his forehand, and stashed in a shot from the right side of the slot. The Nailers carried the 2-0 lead into the first intermission, marking the first time this season that they led after one period of play.

The middle frame saw Indy score twice in the opening three minutes to pull even, before the Nailers regained the lead with two goals in the final two minutes. Cody Laskosky collected both tallies for Indy, as he tipped in Anthony Cumby's point shot at the 1:35 mark, then snapped in a wrist shot from the left circle 1:19 later. Wheeling killed off back-to-back penalties, as it attempted to turn the momentum back into its favor. With 1:57 remaining, the Nailers got their lead back. Tanner Hartman slipped a pass through the top of the crease to Posma, who buried his second of the contest from the left side. 1:25 later, Wheeling converted on a power play to make the score 4-2. Robby Drazner stepped up into the right circle and roofed a wrist shot into the top-right corner.

Craig Armstrong put the finishing touches on the 5-2 Nailers triumph with an empty netter for the lone goal in the third period.

Kasimir Kaskisuo earned his second straight win for Wheeling, as he denied 27 of the 29 shots he faced. Former Nailer Thomas Gale made 17 saves on 21 shots in the defeat for the Fuel.
