TOLEDO, Ohio – The Cincinnati Cyclones (26-20-1-7) nearly orchestrated another remarkable comeback but ultimately fell to the Toledo Walleye (24-27-2-2) by a 5-4 final score in front of 7,503 at Huntington Center on Sunday afternoon.
Toledo pulled ahead 1-0 at 9:09 of the opening period when Mike Thomas finished off a two-on-one rush into the Cincinnati end by burying his third goal of the year. Cincinnati would respond, though, at 12:20 when Maury Edwards sent a point blast past through Toledo net minder Jordan Pearce (W, 30 saves, 1-1-0) to knot things at one. Unfortunately, it didn’t take long for the Walleye to pull back ahead; at 12:39 David Toews deflected a shot past Cyclones goalie Brian Foster (L, 13 saves, 11-5-0-1) to give Toledo a 2-1 lead. Then, at 17:50 Harrison Reed found a loose puck in the low slot and lit the lamp to give his team a 3-1 edge at the first intermission.
The Walleye exploded for two more goals to start the middle frame; at 5:33 Todd Griffith potted his 11th of the season to push Toledo ahead 4-1 followed by a tap-in strike by Mike Thomas at 9:49 to make it 5-1. Cincinnati stopped the bleeding at 12:23 when Joe Devin slammed in a rebound for his sixth lamplighter of the year, shrinking the Cyclones deficit to 5-2 after 40 minutes.
In the third period, the Cyclones once again made things interesting by collecting a pair goals; Anthony Luciani sent a laser-accurate wrist shot past Pearce at 3:47 from the right circle. Then, at the 10:11 mark, Garret Wilson earned a wraparound goal to pull Cincinnati within one at 5-4. Unfortunately, though, Taylor Aronson was given a slashing penalty with just over one minute to play, snuffing out the Cyclones comeback bid as the Walleye held on to a 5-4 triumph.

First Star: Mike Thomas (Game-winning goal for Toledo, 2 goals)

Brian Foster came down with a severe case of Gajewpickarditis.
It is always 100% fatal to playoff hopes. Its only known cure is an exorcism. |

Exorcism? Isn't that what the E in ECHL stands for? |

| Pickard has a no goal streak of over 60 minutes who knew that could happen twice in a season!! He kept them in the game yesterday to try and make that comeback. |
