Cincinnati Has Points in Five of Last Six Games
Cincinnati, OH- The Cincinnati Cyclones (11-10-4-0) climbed back above .500 with a 4-1 win over the Indy Fuel on Friday night. Forwards Jordan Sims, Peter LeBlanc, Shane Walsh, and Dominic Zombo tallied the goals for the Cyclones, who complete the two-game sweep of the Fuel.
The Cyclones drew first blood 11:30 into the opening frame when a shot from defenseman Saverio Posa was deflected by Sims past Fuel goaltender Eric Levine, putting Cincinnati ahead, 1-0.
Cincinnati tacked on one more roughly five minutes later while on the power play when a shot from Walsh hit off LeBlanc and trickled into the net to extend Cincinnati’s lead to 2-0 after 20 minutes.
The Fuel cut their deficit in half midway through the second period when forward Alex Guptil lit the lamp to trim Cincinnati’s lead to 2-1.
Cincinnati pushed their lead back to a pair just before the buzzer when Walsh walked his way along the goal line and flipped the puck in past Levine to give the Cyclones a 3-1 edge through two periods.
Cincinnati continued to get the bulk of the chances in the third period, and put the game away with less than a minute to go when Zombo found the back of the empty net to seal the Cyclones’ 4-1 win.
The Cyclones were outshot, 32-25 on the night, with goaltender Michael Houser putting together another stellar performance, stopping 31 in the win. The Cyclones next take the ice on Thursday when they travel to Wheeling to battle the Nailers. Faceoff is slated for 7:05pm ET.
