NEXT HOME GAME (After Tonight)

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 28 - 7:30pm vs. ELMIRA

WET WEDNESDAY / SALUTE TO SEINFELD

Tonight's Matchup: Riding a three-game winning streak, the Cyclones will close out a 14-game stretch against exclusively North Division opponents as they welcome in the Kalamazoo Wings to U.S. Bank Arena. This season series has been a close one, with the Clones owning a 3-4 record against their Mitten State foes through seven meetings.

Tonight's Promotion: Hockey Buddy Night - The first 2,000 fans through the gates will receive a limited-edition Cyclones Hockey Buddy featuring Twister!

Scouting the Wings: Nick Bootland's club fell in a shootout last night to Toledo and now sits seven points back of the Cyclones coming into this Saturday match-up. Curtis Valk has been the scoring leader nearly all season long, amassing 29 points in as-many games. He's also been a big contributor against the Cyclones, notching eight tallies (2g, 6a) in the six 2014-15 meetings. Dane Fox, who had three points in his last game vs. Cincinnati, has posted 19 points in 32 contests - eight of them coming against the Clones. Veteran Joel Martin has returned from a brief trip to the AHL and has gone 12-8-1-1 this season with a 2.69 goals-against average while Scott Munroe is 4-0-0-1 with a 2.46 GAA.

Last Time Out: A remarkable defensive effort along with a third period outburst lifted the Cyclones to a 4-0 win over the IceMen in front of 3,821 at U.S. Bank Arena. Cincinnati held the IceMen without a shot for nearly 28 minutes, which was the longest in club history.

Get Him the Puck: Rookie forward Stephan Vigier has seemed to have the magic touch for Cincinnati. The Clones are a staggering 11-2-0-1 when #11 puts his name on the scoresheet in some capacity and 7-1 when he lights the lamp.

Remarkable Rookie: Cyclones goaltender Sam Brittain has been among the most impressive first-year goaltenders in the ECHL. Coming into tonight, he ranks second among all rookie backstops with a 2.19 goals-against average. Since December 26, the former University of Denver standout has the most wins of any ECHL goaltender (8).
