CINCINNATI, OH – The Cincinnati Cyclones fell to the Wings 4-3 Friday night to start off 2024. Cincinnati has yet to win this season through three chances inside the Wings Event Center.

Kalamazoo broke the ice with just over five minutes left in the first. Ayden MacDonald snapped a powerplay goal past Olof Lindbom, who finished with 30 saves.

Cincinnati evened the game just 1:10 into the middle period also with a man-advantage marker credited to Tim Doherty.

In the final period, the K-Wings’ Brad Morrison snuck in on a breakaway and finished just 11 seconds in. Zack Andrusiak capped off an excellent offensive zone shift with a nice cross-crease pass from Lincoln Griffin. With the game tied at 2-2, Sahil Panwar and Colton Kalezic combined to give Cincy the lead at the 17:39 mark of the 3rd. Kalamazoo’s Ayden MacDonald scored his second of the game with the goaltender pulled to force OT and then Collin Adams notched the overtime 4-3 winner.

Up next, Cincinnati starts a home-and-home series with Toledo. The ‘Clones host the Walleye Saturday night at 7:30 pm ET for Throwback Night and the highly anticipated Teddy Bear Toss.
