Cincy uses three powerplay goals to skate past Jacksonville
CINCINNATI, OH – The Cyclones won their first meeting against the Icemen 3-2 at the Heritage Bank Center. Cincinnati improves to 14-12-1-0 and 1-1-0-0 against the South Division this season.
Talyn Boyko kept Jacksonville off the board for most of the first period, but Matheson Iacopelli snuck in a wraparound with one minute to go in the frame.
Cincinnati knotted the game up 1-1 on the powerplay in the middle stages of the 2nd period. After Bjørgvik Holm’s shot dented the post, Louie Caporusso found the rebound and potted his 8th goal of the season.
In the third period, Cincinnati converted another PPG with just over six minutes to play when Lincoln Griffin roofed a rebound. Jacksonville drew even again at 2-2 with Jerry D’Amico’s first goal of the season. Cincinnati got another man advantage in the final minutes, and Patrick Polino delivered the game-winner with a blast from the slot.
