CYCLONES TRIPPED UP IN WEEKEND OPENER
Cincinnati Heavily Outshoots Komets, Cannot Capitalize Offensively

After the Komets took a 2-0 lead after the first on goals from forward Brett McKenzie, and AJ Jenks on the power play, Ft. Wayne tacked on two more in the second when forward Brady Shaw lit the lamp, and McKenzie netted his second of the game to put the Komets up, 4-0, through 40 minutes.
The Cyclones stole some of the momentum back midway through the third when Baudry hammered home a power play tally from the high slot to cut the Cincinnati deficit to 4-1, however that is all the offense the ‘Clones were able to muster, as Ft. Wayne held on for the 4-1 win.
