Early October Series to Serve as Tune-Up to 2017-18 Season

 

Cincinnati, OH- The Cincinnati Cyclones, proud ECHL affiliate of the American Hockey League’s (AHL) Rochester Americans and the National Hockey League’s (NHL) Buffalo Sabres, have announced a pair of preseason games against the Wheeling Nailers on Friday, October 6 at 7:05pm and Sunday October 8, at 5:05pm.

The Cyclones and Nailers met four times last season, with Cincinnati taking the season series, 3-1-0-0. The two sides will meet six times in 2017-18, including twice in Cincinnati’s first six games of the year.
