TONIGHT'S MATCHUP: After closing out their home stand with back-to-back wins, the Cyclones are on the road today as they visit the Toledo Walleye for the second-to-last time this season. In 2011-12, the Cyclones have earned points in six out of the ten meetings with the Fish this season, but only two of their wins have come in Downtown Toledo. Since 2006, the Clones are 24-24-2-1 with their I-75 rivals.
SCOUTING THE WALLEYE: Nick Vitucci's club has lost three straight games and four out of its last five. Joey Martin leads Toledo and ranks fifth among ECHL rookies with 38 points (16 goals, 22 assists) in 45 games, with 11 of those points coming against Cincinnati. Team captain Kyle Rogers has also amassed 38 tallies (19 goals, 19 assists) this season for the Walleye and leads the team with five game-winning goals. After spending much of the year on a goaltending carousel, the Walleye now have two NHL prospects between the pipes. Alec Richards has amassed a 5-3-0 record with a 2.74 goals against average. Jordan Pearce was recently assigned from Grand Rapids and is now 0-1-0 with a 4.10 goals-against average.
About Last Night vs. Kalamazoo: The Cyclones rattled off four unanswered goals in the final two periods to defeat the Wings in come-from-behind fashion by a 5-3 final score in front of 5,935 at U.S. Bank Arena. It was the fourth largest crowd to watch a game at 100 Broadway this season.
Four Score...: The Cyclones have posted four goals or more in three of their last five games. In 2011-12 when Cincinnati achieves this feat, they are an impressive 15-1-0-1.
Multi-Point Magic: The Cyclones have had 21 different players register multi-point efforts this season. Cincy has had a player earn a multi-point game in six of its last eight contests. Mathieu Aubin leads the team in this category with 16 such games. Anthony Luciani is second on the team with 9.
Sisca's Soaring: Cyclones rookie forward Matt Sisca has continued to be a steady source of offense. He has posted 24 points in 24 games since getting traded from Bakersfield. On Sunday, he earned his second four-point night as a Cyclone and now has points in 10 of his last 15 games. Cincinnati is 10-2-1-2 when he finds the scoresheet.
