On September 23, 2015, Lavoie's rights were traded to the Indy Fuel. He signed a one-year contract with the club to remain in the ECHL.[5] In 71 games with the Fuel, Lavoie was amongst the team's offensive leaders with 38 assists and 54 points.

As a free agent in the following off-season, Lavoie opted to sign abroad in Sweden, agreeing to a one-year deal with second-tier club, BIK Karlskoga of the HockeyAllsvenskan on August 24, 2016.[6]
