CYCLONES BATTLE WALLEYE THREE TIMES IN FIVE NIGHTS
The Cincinnati Cyclones have an opportunity to separate themselves from the Toledo Walleye in the North Division standings this week. Starting Wednesday night at U.S. Bank Arena, the Cyclones and Walleye meet three times in five days. They'll also host "Throwback Night" on Saturday night at 7:30pm.
THIS PAST WEEKEND:
About Saturday Night in Wheeling: One night after posting a career-high 44 saves, Cyclones goaltender Marc Cheverie turned aside 38 shots to earn his first professional shutout and give the Cyclones a 2-0 win over the Nailers at WesBanco Arena on Saturday night. Sam D’Agostino netted his third goal of the season, which turned out to be the game winner and Mathieu Aubin added an empty-net goal and an assist to extend his point scoring streak to nine games.
About Friday Night in Trenton: Jeff Prough netted the game winning goal at 2:05 of the extra session to send his Trenton Devils to a 5-4 OT win over the Cyclones at Sun National Bank Center on Friday night. Cincinnati netminder Marc Cheverie came in to relieve starting goalie Chet Pickard and went on to make a career-high 44 saves in a losing effort.
STORYLINES:
Another ‘Clone headed to the “A”: Forward Mike Bartlett was called up to the American Hockey League on Monday afternoon. It’s the third straight year Bartlett has seen time at the Triple-A level since beginning his pro career in 2008-09. He is the fifth different Cyclones player to have made an appearance on an AHL roster this season.
Teach a Man to Fish: Starting Wednesday, the Cyclones will become awfully familiar with the Toledo Walleye, as the two teams square off in three of their next four games. With both teams tied for 3rd place in the North Division coming into tonight, these next few meetings are very important. Toledo is the one North Division team that gave the Cyclones trouble last season. Cincinnati went 20-15-3 against North Division opponents in 2009-10, but only 3-7-1 against the Walleye.
Scouting the Walleye: Toledo will visit Cincinnati for the first time this season after taking a 3-2 decision at Huntington Center on October 29. The Walleye and Cyclones are tied for 3rd place in the North Division with 7 points each. This past Saturday, Toledo snapped a three game losing streak by defeating Kalamazoo in overtime, 3-2. Peter LeBlanc leads the Walleye with 7 points while Evan Rankin, Randy Rowe, and Zack Torquato are each tied for 2nd in scoring with 6 points a piece. Scott Campbell has assumed the starting role between the pipes for Toledo since Jordan Pearce got called up to Grand Rapids. So far this season, Campbell has a 2-2-0-1 record with a 3.05 goals-against average.
