CYCLONES FALL ON THE ROAD AGAINST WALLEYE



Toledo uses two powerplay goals to skate past Cincy 



By: Dana Grey, Cincinnati Cyclones   



TOLEDO, OH - The Walleye took down the Cyclones 6-4
at the Huntington Center. It marked the first of 13 regular season meetings
between the two Central Division foes and the first matchup since Toledo
knocked Cincy out of the Kelly Cup Playoffs last season. 



Toledo opened the scoring and engaged the Teddy Bear toss at
the Huntington Center just 1:11 into the game. Zack Andrusiak responded for the
Cyclones by banking a shot off Walleye goaltender Jan Bednar.  



Cincy took a 2-1 lead two minutes into the 2nd when Luka
Burzan scored fresh out of the penalty box. The ‘Clones doubled the lead on the
powerplay with Patrick Polino’s 4th PPG of the season. The Buffalo native found
a rebound in the low slot and popped it into the net's top. The Walleye
responded with two straight goals from Conlan Keenan and then a man-advantage
goal from Brandon Hawkins. Talyn Boyko left the game in the period after making
25 saves and was replaced by Julian Sime. 



Justin Vaive got the lead right back for Cincy with a power
play deflection from a Jalen Smereck shot to make it 4-3 Cyclones. The Walleye
converted on two straight powerplays and added an empty-net goal to win 6-4.



Up next, Cincinnati returns home to the Heritage Bank Center
on Saturday, December 9th, to host Toledo looking for quick revenge.
