CINCINNATI, Ohio - For only the third time in Cincinnati Cyclones history the club was involved in a 1-0 game. Tonight, it was a victory and the tenth straight game without a regulation time loss. Rookie forward Mathieu Aubin netted his fourth goal of the season off a feed from Sam Ftorek for the lone goal of the contest. Aubin held the puck in the low slot and sent a soft shot between the legs of goaltender Jeff Pietresiak.

Cedrick Desjardins, the Cyclones rookie goalie headed to the ECHL All-Star Game later this month, stopped 23 shots. Desjardins has won his last eight starts at U.S. Bank Arena. In those eight games, Desjardins has posted two shutouts and allowed just ten goals during that span. Cedrick leads the ECHL in shutouts with four-second-most in a single season in Cyclones history.
