In Tulsa, Oklahoma, the Cincinnati Cyclones earned their first victory of the season, 7-4 at the BOK Center. Cincinnati opened a two-game set against the Anaheim Ducks affiliate and continued its three-game road trip through the Mountain Division.
The Cincinnati Cyclones opened the scoring for the second-straight night with the first powerplay goal of the season thanks to a Patrick Polino one-timer 1:32 into the game. Then the Tulsa Oilers responded, but Zack Andrusiak scored his first of two goals on the night, with a wicked wrister from the far boards as time ticked down in the 1st period.
Tulsa’s Dante Sheriff and Kalvyn Watson each scored early in the second to build a 3-2 Tulsa lead. Zack Andrusiak finished off a tap pass from defenseman Billy Constantinou to tie the game back up. The Cincinnati Cyclones converted once again on the powerplay to take the lead with Jake Gaudet’s deflection goal, his first a Cyclone.
The Cincinnati Cyclones were up 4-3 entering the 3rd period. Justin Vaive collected Cincinnati’s third PPG of the evening with a wrist shot streaking down the left wing. Patrick Polino and Luka Burzan added extra insurance goals for the Cyclones in the late stages of the game. Goaltender Olof Lindbom made 26 saves, earning his first win with the Cincinnati Cyclones.
Next up, the Cincinnati Cyclones stay in Tulsa for a Sunday 5:05 pm ET puck drop against the Tulsa Oilers. The Cincinnati Cyclones returns home to Heritage Bank Center on Friday, November 3rd at 7:30 pm ET for “Shutout the Hate” night.
