After a scoreless opening period, Cincinnati broke through 12:07 into the second when defenseman Frank Hora sent a pass from below the goal line to Schultz at the bottom of the left circle, and he snapped in a shot to give the Cyclones a 1-0 lead.
The 1-0 Cyclones lead held up throughout the remainder of the second, and in the third the teams traded offensive chances, with Cincinnati outshooting Toledo, 12-10, in the period. The Cyclones withstood a barrage of shots, including several while facing the extra attacker in the waning second, and Houser and the ‘Clones held on for the 1-0 win.
Cincinnati outshot the Walleye, 29-24, on the evening, while the penalty kill was perfect on all four chances. The Cyclones head to Toledo on Wednesday night to begin a stretch of seven-straight on the road. Face-off is set for 7:15pm ET.
