THIS WEEKEND'S MATCHUP:
For the second consecutive weekend, the Cyclones will play away from U.S. Bank Arena as they travel to Kalamazoo, Michigan to take on the Wings in a two-game series.   It will be the first of 15 regular season meetings between the two clubs.  The Cyclones were 10-4-1 against the Wings in 2009-10 with a 4-3-1 record at Wings Stadium.

SCOUTING THE WINGS:
Last season, Kalamazoo took home the North Division Championship with a 42-20-6-4 record and the second-most potent offense in the ECHL (273 GF in 2009-10).  However, their playoff run was short-lived as they dropped their first round series with Reading, 3-2.  Two of their top leading scorers from a year ago are back for another season.  Forward Andrew Fournier led the Wings with 71 points in 2009-10 while former Cyclone Sam Ftorek finished third in Kalamazoo last season with 50 points.

REYNOLDS MAKES HIS RETURN:
Cyclones forward Scott Reynolds will be back on the ice for Cincinnati this weekend after a two-week stint at the American Hockey League with the Rochester Americans.  In his first career trip to the Triple-A level, Reynolds posted a pair of points (1 goal, 1 assist) in 6 games.

MOVING UP THE CHARTS:
Cyclones captain Barret Ehgoetz notched his 12th career Cyclones game-winning goal last Saturday night against Elmira - moving into sole possession of 2nd place in Cincinnati’s record books for GWG.  He is now just 8 goals shy of Sheldon Gorski, who has 20 career game-winning markers.
