PRESIDENT OBAMA BOBBLEHEAD NIGHT

TONIGHT'S MATCHUP: After dropping a 4-1 decision in Reading last night, the Cyclones continue their Atlantic Division swing tonight as they play back-to-back games against the Trenton Titans. The Cyclones earned a 6-4 win in the only meeting of the season back in October and have compiled a 26-12-2 record in the All-Time Series (since 2006).

SCOUTING THE TITANS: Vince Williams' club has won back-to-back games to snap what was a seven-game losing skid. Last night they enjoyed their best offensive output of the season by posting an 8-5 win on the road at Elmira. Despite the recent surge, the Titans still remain in the basement of the Atlantic Division standings. Andy Bombach, who had a pair of points last night in the win, leads Trenton's offensive leaderboard with 19 goals and 19 assists in 38 games. Third-year pro Stephen Schultz added three more assists to his totals last night and now has amassed 33 points (12 goals, 21 assists) in 32 games for the Titans this season. New Jersey Devils goalie prospect Scott Wedgewood has played the last three games between the pipes and has accumulated a 12-11-2 record with a 3.15 goals-against average. Rookie Niko Hovinen has also shared some time in net for Trenton; he is 4-6-1-2 this year with a 3.14 GAA.

Holding Up The "House": Cyclones goalie Michael Houser enjoyed his best performance of his young career over the weekend. Last Saturday, he made a Cyclones season-high 45 saves to help his team rally for a 5-2 win over Fort Wayne. It's the second time this season a Cincinnati goalie had made 40+ saves. Houser is 4-3-0 this season with a 3.02 goals-against average.

Heroes Are Everywhere: Cincinnati has continued to spread the wealth this year - with 14 different players earning game-winning goals. Josh Shalla leads the team in this category (although he's currently called up to the AHL). Mathieu Aubin, Mike Embach, Mike Pelech, and Garrett Wilson all have two such lamp-lighters.

The New Guy: Today the Cyclones will see the pro debut of rookie forward Trevor Lewis, who was acquired from Reading on Friday. The Robert Morris University alum hadn't played a single game with the Royals since beginning the year on the 21-day IR.
