THIS PAST WEEK:
About Saturday Night vs. Evansville: Matt Smyth registered his first professional hat trick to help lift the Cyclones past the IceMen by a 5-2 final score in front of 7,146 at U.S. Bank Arena. Team captain Mathieu Aubin enjoyed a three assist game as well. After Saturday’s victory, the Cyclones have earned points in ten straight games.
About Friday Night vs. Toledo: Rookie goaltender Michael Houser earned his second shutout of the season as the Cyclones defeated the Toledo Walleye 3-0 in front of 4,604 at U.S. Bank Arena. Mathieu Aubin’s second period goal turned out to be his third game winner of the year.
About Wednesday Night vs. Florida: The Cyclones fought back with three goals in the third period to earn one point, but fell in overtime by a 5-4 final score to the Everblades in front of 2,497 at U.S. Bank Arena on Wednesday night. For the second straight game, Mike Embach posted a multi-point effort for the Cyclones.
SHOTS FROM THE POINT:
Pack Up The Suitcase: With another nearly-perfect week behind them, the Cyclones will play the next six games away from U.S. Bank Arena beginning Friday night with a visit to the Trenton Titans. Then on Saturday, the Clones will meet the Reading Royals for the final time this season. Both games are slated to start at 7:05pm.
Racking Up the Points: The Cyclones have earned points in ten straight games - the longest current streak in the ECHL. It’s the first time since early in the 2010-11 season that they’ve been able to accomplish this feat and just the fifth time since returning to ECHL play in 2006.
At Home on the Road: The Cyclones have climbed to the second best road record in the ECHL. They have collected a 19-7-3-1 record away from U.S. Bank Arena, earning 42 points and a 70% winning percentage. Their next six games will be played away from 100 Broadway.
Coors Light Jarrod Skalde Show TONIGHT: Join us from 7-8pm at the Tap House Grill for another week of hockey conversation with Cyclones Head Coach Jarrod Skalde and Voice of the Cyclones Nick Brunker. Enjoy great food and Coors Light beer specials as we chat about what's coming up in Puckopolis! Plus, Mathieu Aubin will stop by to visit as well!
