Chicago engaged in their longest shootout in team history in their last outing, going 15 rounds against the Florida Everblades before eventually falling one goal short in the shootout. The Cyclones, meanwhile, have earned points in each of their last two contests, winning one and falling in a shootout in the other. Chicago and Cincinnati have met six times this season, with Chicago holding a 4-2-0-0 record against the Cyclones.
