Fort Wayne struck early and often in game six, winning 6-0 Tuesday evening at Heritage Bank Center.

Cincinnati and Fort Wayne are tied 3-3 in this best-of-seven series that will see a game seven played tomorrow night.

• Fort Wayne jumped out to a 1-0 lead 4:12 into the game. Anthony Petruzzelli jumped on a Cincinnati turnover to streak along for a breakaway where he beat Beck Warm to get the Komets on the board first. Matt Alvaro doubled his team's lead with under four minutes to play in the period, shooting from the left circle with traffic that allowed the puck to trickle through.
  
  
• The Cyclones pressured offensively with three power plays during the second period, but came up empty-handed. Late in the frame, Andrew Nielsen had a shot from the center of the slot on Fanti, but the effort was blocked and quickly lugged ahead by William Provost for a breakaway goal to make it 3-0 at the 13:39 mark of the second.
  
  
• Mark Sinclair entered the third period in relief for Warm, who finished the night with 14 saves on 17 shots. Sinclair, unfortunately, was solved three times in the third, with Sam Dove-McFalls striking 54 seconds in before power play goals from Darien Kielb and Mark Rassell in the back half of the period.

• Ryan Fanti posted his second shutout of the series with a 32-save performance.
