SCOUTING THE KOMETS: Gary Graham's club dropped a 6-2 decision on home ice to the Wheeling Nailers last night and now finds itself eight points back of Cincinnati with an additional game played. Fort Wayne is led, offensively, by Mickey Lang who has earned six goals and three assists thus far. Brandon Marino and Scott Fleming, both of whom put their name on the scoresheet last night, have also collected nine tallies. On defense, the Komets have allowed the second most goals of any team in the Eastern Conference. Rookie Andrey Makarov has been the goalie of record in four of his team's last five games. He's earned a record of 2-2-0 and a GAA of 2.52. Former Miami RedHawk Cody Reichard has also seen action between the pipes; he's 0-2-0-1 with a goals-against average of 3.93.

About Last Night in Kalamazoo: The Cyclones thwarted a late game comeback by the Wings and hung on to win by a 6-5 final score in front of 4,216 at Wings Stadium. It was the first time since last February that Cincinnati had won seven straight games. Wade Megan finished with his fourth-straight two-goal game.

Century Club Members: Upon his next game, Anthony Luciani will be playing in his 100th game as a professional. #11 has totaled 77 points in his career, 73 of them coming with Cincinnati. In addition, defenseman Chris Reed will reach 100 in his Cyclones career tonight.

Goin' Streakin': With another two-point showing, Wade Megan has earned points in all seven of his games this season, which is among the ECHL's best. Anthony Luciani comes in with points in six straight contests while Jonathan Hazen has collected tallies in four consecutive games. Sharing the Wealth: Not including players currently on the reserve list, every Cyclones player has earned at least a point this season. Even more impressive, 11 different players have collected a multi-point game. Wade Megan leads the team in this category, with four such games.
