SHOTS FROM THE POINT:
The Homestand Continues: The Cyclones will look to earn some revenge this week as they continue a season-long homestand at U.S. Bank Arena beginning tomorrow morning! In the annual Education in Hockey Day Game, Matt Macdonald's team will host the Orlando Solar Bears at 10:30am in hopes of evening the season series at one. Then, on Friday, Cincinnati welcomes in the Evansville IceMen for the first time in 2014-15. The first 2,000 fans through the gates will receive a Cyclones Oven Mitt! Plus, we'll be hosting the first Pucks & Pints pregame beer tasting event of the season. Finally, on Saturday, the Clones play host to the Kalamazoo Wings on "Simpons Night" as they pay homage to the 25th anniversary of the classic animated series.
Keeping Shots Down: Cincy has been among the league’s elite in terms of scoring opportunities against. Coming into today, the Cyclones are allowing the fourth-fewest shots per game on average - just 26.11 per game. In fact, the Florida Everblades are the only Eastern Conference team to have a better average in this department (24.67).
Finding Strides: A couple of Cincinnati forwards are starting to rack up points in a big way. Both Michael Neal and Byron Froese posted two-goal games last Saturday against Fort Wayne. Neal has collected points in three of his last four games while Froese has put his name on the scoresheet in six of his last seven.
