TONIGHT'S MATCHUP: With another exhilarating win under their belts, the Cyclones put their 4-0 record on the line tonight against a fellow-unbeaten team in the Evansville IceMen. Cincinnati had tremendous success against IceMen a year ago, going 8-4-0-1 against their Hoosier State foes. However, Evansville posed a tough test on home ice, taking three of the five games at Ford Center.

SCOUTING THE ICEMEN: In this first season at the helm, Head Coach Jeff Pyle and company have strung together three straight wins to start the season. Rookie Mike Seidel has come out of the gate on fire, posting five points (2 goals, 3 assists) in three contests thus far. Joe Lavin, Matt Lowry, and Thomas Larkin all are tied for second on the team in scoring with three tallies apiece. Between the pipes, former Brown University goaltender Mike Clemente has been the go-to-guy for the IceMen; through three games, he leads the ECHL with a 1.00 goals-against average, one shutout, and a stellar 95.9% save percentage.

About Wednesday Morning in Toledo: John McFarland's late shorthanded goal in the third period proved to be game-winner as the Cyclones knocked off the Walleye by a 4-3 final score in front of 6,591 at Huntington Center. Wade Megan also contributed with two goals and an assist - his first three-point game as a pro.

Racking Up the Goals: Cincinnati has come out of the gate firing on all cylinders offensively. Through three games, they are averaging four goals per game - which ranks second best of any team in the league.

Shoot MoreWin More: Another recipe for success last season lied in the shots on goal department. The Clones won nearly 60 percent of their games when out-shooting their opponent.
