KALAMAZOO, MI – The Cyclones fell to the Wings 2-1 Friday night to start off 2024. Cincinnati has yet to win this season through three chances inside the Wings Event Center.
* Kalamazoo broke the ice with just over five minutes left in the first. Ayden MacDonald snapped a powerplay goal past Olof Lindbom, who finished with 30 saves.
* Cincinnati evened the game just 1:10 into the middle period also with a man-advantage marker credited to Tim Doherty.
* In the final period, the K-Wings’ Brad Morrison snuck in on a breakaway and finished just 11 seconds in. Zack Andrusiak capped off an excellent offensive zone shift with a nice cross-crease pass from Lincoln Griffin. With the game tied at 2-2, Sahil Panwar and Colton Kalezic combined to give Cincy the lead at the 17:39 mark of the 3rd. Kalamazoo’s Ayden MacDonald scored his second of the game with the goaltender pulled and then Collin Adams notched the overtime 4-3 winner.
