STAR WARS NIGHT

TONIGHT'S MATCHUP: For the first time since the season opener, the Cyclones will face a non-division opponent as they welcome the Orlando Solar Bears to U.S. Bank Arena for the one and only time this season. The teams split a pair of meetings last year, with the home team claiming victory in each.

SCOUTING THE SOLAR BEARS: Vince Williams' club has strung together three straight wins and earned points in seven out of their last 10 games. They're currently in the middle of a six-game non-division swing. C.J. Severyn leads the Solar Bears and ranks 5th in the ECHL with 12 points (5 goals, 7 assists) in 11 games. He also is among league-leaders in penalty minutes, collecting 56 so far - the third most. Mike Ullrich has also enjoyed a sold start as well, amassing 12 tallies (3 goals, 9 assists) this season. John Curry and Christopher Gibson have split the duties in net. Curry, who was named the ECHL's Goalie of the Week, comes into tonight with a record of 4-1-0 and a 2.38 goals-against average. Gibson, a second-round pick of the Los Angeles Kings, has gone 2-3-0-1 to start his rookie campaign with a goal-against average of 2.64.

About Saturday Night vs. Fort Wayne: Mickey Lang's late shorthanded goal proved the be the difference maker as the Komets rallied back to beat the Cyclones by a 3-2 final score in front of 5,747 at U.S. Bank Arena. Taylor Aronson and John McFarland scored goals for Cincinnati in a losing effort.

The Record Setter: While forward Megan had his seven-game point streak snapped, he completed one of the most impressive starts of any Cyclones player in history. Since returning to ECHL play in 2006, Megan is the only player to have ever scored two goals in four straight games. He leads all rookies, and ranks third overall, with 14 points this season.

Middle Period Power: The Cyclones have been at their most impressive during the second period of games this season - outscoring their opponents by a 12-5. Only two other teams have allowed fewer goals in the middle stanza.

Nail, Meet Coffin: Cincinnati has continued to be a strong finisher this season. They are 5-0 in games where they lead after 40 minutes of play. They've outscored their opponents 24-17 in the final two periods.
