CINCINNATI, Ohio - Brady Brassart scored with just 9.7 seconds left in overtime to give the Quad City Mallards (12-8-2) a 4-3 victory over the host Cincinnati Cyclones (9-10-3) Friday night.

Justin Kovacs tied the score at one from close range at 5:07. At 6:19, Nolan LaPorte rifled the second Mallard goal in under the crossbar from the right wing circle.
