March 1, 2013 - ECHL (ECHL)
Kalamazoo Wings News Release
Kalamazoo, MI - Missing a few opportunities to tie the game late in the third period, the Kalamazoo Wings (28-24-4-1) fell to the Cincinnati Cyclones (36-17-4-2) 3-2 Friday night at Wings Stadium.
Weaving through the attack zone Matt Smyth (3rd) gave the Cyclones the lead late in the first period, when he caromed a backhander off the crossbar and into the net.
Early in the second period, Kalamazoo pulled even with a power-play tally from Nick Sirota (19th); however, the game wouldn't stay tied for very long.
Walking from the corner, Jack MacLellan (2nd) went untouched to the slot 11:58 into the period to extend his point streak to five games and give the Cyclones the one goal advantage.
Extending their lead to 3-1 three minutes later, Cincinnati's Dan Eves (16th) one-timed a Taylor Aronson cross-rink pass.
Trying to mount a comeback in the third period, John Armstrong found Yann Sauve cutting in front of the Cyclones net for Sauve's fifth-goal of the season. The assist extended Armstong's point and assist streaks to eight games.
The Cyclones, who are 10-1-0-0 in their last 11 games, extended their winning streak to a season-high tying five games.
Kalamazoo will start a two-game road swing and complete the home-and-home series against Cincinnati tomorrow, Saturday, March 2nd with a 7:35 p.m. encounter at the U.S. Bank Arena.
