FISHERS, Ind. (Nov. 8, 2026) - The Cincinnati Cyclones stun the Indy Fuel in overtime to record a 3-2 come-from-behind victory on Sunday afternoon at Fishers Event Center.

In a game where Cincinnati never led, Indy scored the opening goal of the game in the first period. Jackson Desouza (1) scored on a shot from the wing to give Indy a 1-0 lead at the 17:14 mark of the opening frame. Indy would take the narrow lead into the second period.

The Cyclones were able to net one of their own off a rebounded finish from Alexander Burmistrov (1). His first of the season tied the game at 1-1 and marked his first goal in North America since Dec. 17, 2017, when he was a member of the Vancouver Canucks. His goal was assisted by Kurtis Henry, marking his first point of the campaign.

A power play goal from Jacob Perreault (6) gave Indy an answer and the lead heading into the third period. Cincinnati converted on a 5-on-3 power play to tie the game up at 2-2. Another rebounded goal for Cincinnati saw Nathan Burke (3) knot the game up at two apiece.

With his goal, Burke extends his point streak to five games and now has all three of his goals this season against the Indy Fuel. Matt Copponi and Sahil Panwar logged assists on the game-tying goal to force the game into overtime.

In the extra frame, Cincinnati goaltender Kaidan Mbereko made the save of the game with a desperation glove save to keep the game alive. His save opened the door for Sahil Panwar (7) to go top shelf on a two-on-one to steal the second point for the Cyclones.
