Home Sweet Home: The Cyclones kick off a five-game homestand this week as they welcome the Toledo Walleye and the South Carolina Stingrays to U.S. Bank Arena. On Wednesday, the Clones open the month of February with a battle against the Walleye in hopes of adding some breathing room in the North Division standings. Then on Friday and Saturday night, the Stingrays invade 100 Broadway for the first and only time in the 2011-12 season. This year against the South Division, Cincinnati has amassed a 2-0-1 record.
