CINCINNATI, Ohio - Rookie Sam D'Agostino buried his second game winner in as many contests at the 0:34 mark of overtime to give the Cincinnati Cyclones (3-5-2-1) a 2-1 victory over the Toledo Walleye (3-4-1-1) in front of 2,169 at U.S. Bank Arena on Wednesday night.
The Cyclones struck first when, after receiving a beautiful Dylan Hunter pass, Christiaan Minella blasted home his second of the season past Walleye goalie Scott Campbell (L, 17 saves, 2-2-1-1) to make it 1-0 Cincinnati at the 15:22 mark. The lead wouldn't last long, however, as Ryan Stokes found himself in the right place at the right time when a blocked shot rebounded right to the Toledo defenseman. Stokes sent it past Cyclones netminder Marc Cheverie (W, 29 saves, 3-2-1-1) at 17:44 to even things at 1-1 heading into the first intermission.
Both teams traded several chances in the second period, but neither was able to find the net although Cincinnati outshot the Walleye 9-6 in the middle frame. In the third, however, the chances were much more lopsided. Toledo peppered Cheverie with 13 shots in the final frame of regulation, and he stood tall on all of them forcing the game into overtime.
Early into the extra session, Barret Ehgoetz and Brian O'Hanley helped pick up a turnover at the Toledo blue line and sent it onto Campbell from 60 feet. But the rebound came right out to D'Agostino who easily slammed in the game-winner at the 0:34 mark to earn his fourth goal of the season and seal a 2-1 Cyclones victory. It was the second time this year that Cincinnati has won a game in overtime.
Cincinnati's penalty kill was superb once again tonight, eliminating three out of four Walleye power plays.
The Cyclones Radio Network Three Stars of the Game were as follows:
1) Sam D'Agostino (Game-winning goal)
2) Marc Cheverie (29 saves, winning goalie)
3) Scott Campbell (17 saves, losing goalie)

Great win to get us out of last place. Goaltending was good, stayed
away from foolish penalties and showed a better effort to clear the
puck out on the few penalty kills we had.
Cheers to the ushers in 126 area for beeramid control. They left the
fans build them and only stepped in to stop the people throwing cans
down and threw out the one jerk who still was throwing with her right
there. Fans had fun and control was kept. Looking forward to Saturday
night. |

Certainly not the prettiest win nor the most entertaining of games, but a win nonetheless.
The Cyclones have now earned 5 out of their last 6 possible points. Had Pickard been in net the entire time, we would have had zero points. Had he not played at all, then we would have captured all 6 points.
It's amazing what adequate goaltending can do. It can turn a 60% PK into an 85% effective unit-the Cyclones have killed off 17 of their last 20 shorthanded situations.
