Cincinnati Snaps Two-Game Skid in Kalamazoo
Kalamazoo, MI- TheCincinnati Cyclones (6-4-1-0) took down the Kalamazoo Wings, 3-2, on Sunday afternoon. The Cyclones received goals from forwards Ben Johnson, Darik Angeli, and John Edwardh, and brought their two-game losing streak to an end.
Cincinnati drew first blood 9:45 into the first when Johnson was driving the net and redirected in a point shot from the right side to give the Cyclones an early 1-0 advantage.
The Cyclones’ power play added a contribution roughly five minutes later when Angeli took the puck following a scramble in front of the net and lifted a backhander in past Kalamazoo goaltender Jake Hildebrand to extend Cincinnati’s lead to 2-0.
Cincinnati took their 2-0 lead into the locker room after the first, and in the second Kalamazoo turned up the pressure offensively and managed to get a pair of goal from forwards Dylan Sadowy and Boston Leier to tie the game, 2-2, 13:02 into the middle frame.
The Cyclones were not deterred, and with 4:10 left while on the power play, Edwardh took a rebound following a shot from forward Jesse Schultz and scored to give Cincinnati the edge back, 3-2, after two periods.
In the third, Cincinnati continued the offensive pressure, outshooting the Wings 13-6 in the period. Kalamazoo had a few quality chances to tie the game as the frame winded down, however Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen was perfect and preserved the 3-2 win for the Cyclones. Cincinnati outshot the Wings, 29-24 on the afternoon, with Luukkonen stopping 22 for his first Cyclones win.
