SCOUTING THE TITANS: Vince Williams' club has earned points in three straight games after a comeback win over Kalamazoo last night. However, despite the recent surge, they are still in the basement of the Atlantic Division standings and remain nine points out of a playoff spot. Andy Bombach is the Titans' top scorer this season, posting 39 points (19 goals, 29 assists) in 42 games. Jason Cepis is close on his heels with 38 tallies in 45 contests between his time in Idaho and Trenton this year. Goaltender Scott Wedgewood has seen the bulk of the action between the pipes this season, going 15-16-3-1 with a 3.31 goals-against average. The rookie backstop has lost both meetings with Cincinnati in 2012-13 and has earned a 3.94 GAA.

Setting the Tempo: Getting an early lead is always a big factor in getting wins. When scoring the game's first goal, the Cyclones have accumulated a 22-5-1-1 record. Their win totals are fifth-most in the ECHL.

Rule Of Three: It seems that, this season, the key number is "3." When the Clones hold their opponents to three goals or less, they're 26-4-4-1. When Cincinnati posts more than three goals, they have amassed a staggering 18-1-0-1 record.
