A Tenacious Trio: The Cyclones have found some great success from David Pacan, Mike Embach, and Trevor Lewis during these playoffs. While spending most of the time on the same line, the three Cincinnati forwards have each notched eight points in as many games. Their totals are tied for fourth among all ECHL postseason players.

Saving the Best For Last: Cincinnati's postseason offensive tendencies have held true to the regular season statistics. The bulk of its offense has come in the third period; they are outscoring opponents 12-10 in the final stanza and 18-13 in the final two regulation periods.
