Indy Fuel faces Toledo Walleye in a tough debut for head coach Jesse Messier. Discover how the game unfolded. Jesse Messier, the new head coach of the Indy Fuel, made his coaching debut in a 5-2 loss to Toledo Walleye in a tough match that saw penalties, a controversial goal and a three-goal second period prove costly for the Fuel. The game marked Messier's arrival after immigration delays prevented him from joining the team for its first two regular-season games. The Fuel had entered the game with a 1-1 record and were hoping to build on their opening-night overtime victory over Wheeling. Despite a strong performance from assistant coach Christian Horn, Toledo managed to secure its first victory of the young ECHL season. The loss leaves Indy with a 2-2 record early in the 2026-27 season.
