CINCINNATI - Scott Reynolds' tenth goal of the season with 12:43 remaining, broke a 1-1 tie and gave the Cincinnati Cyclones a 2-1 win over the Charlotte Checkers Wednesday night. Reynolds ripped a shot from the slot, as Barret Ehgoetz and Chad Starling set the play up for him.

Following a scoreless first period, the Checkers scored the first goal at 3:35 of the second frame. Bruce Graham picked up his seventh goal of the season, on the power play, and his second in as many nights, pushing a puck under Cyclones netminder Dov Grumet-Morris. Mike Bayrack and Ryan Constant added the assists.

In the third period, Cincinnati knotted the game up at 1-1, when Thomas Beauregard grabbed a rebound a stuffed it past Chris Holt. Chad Starling's shot from the point created the rebound, as David Desharnais added the assist.

Dov Grumet-Morris stopped 32 shots in collecting his 16th win of the year, since November 4, Grumet-Morris is 14-1-1.

It was the twelfth come-from-behind victory for the Cyclones this season. Cincinnati has the unusual distinction of not losing a game in regulation time this year when allowing the first goal (11-0-2).

The Cyclones entered the games with a club record-tying eleven game unbeaten-in-regulation (9-0-2) stretch. Cincinnati has not lost at U.S. Bank Arena in regulation time since a 4-2 defeat to Dayton on November 24. The twelve game stretch is the second-longest in the ECHL this season.

For the first time in team history, the Cincinnati Cyclones are 21 games above .500, with a 29-8-3 record and sole possession of first place in the North Division. The triumph gives Cincinnati a 13-2-1 record since December 15.

The Cyclones are 29-8-3 on the season, leaders of the North Division, two points ahead of Elmira. Charlotte is 18-18-4. The magic number for clinching a playoff berth is 36.

Cincinnati is next in action at Wheeling on Friday night (7pm) and at Trenton on Saturday (7:30pm). Both games will be carried on 96 Rock (WTFK-FM).
