Toledo, OH – The Toledo Walleye fell to the Cincinnati Cyclones in overtime on Marvel Night at the Huntington Center with a final score of 6-5.

How it Happened:

The first period was quiet until Cincinnati got one late at 19:46 after a penalty on Tanner Palocsik.

The second was much more eventful and Toledo got on the board and tied it at 1-1 after a beautiful pass from behind the net from Brandon Kruse and Mitch Lewandowski lit the lamp.

Cincinnati scored 3 straight after that to give them a commanding 4-1 lead, however the Fish were not backing down just yet.

Sam Craggs cut the deficit to two goals on the power play at 16:55 with Hunter Johannes tallying his second point as a Walleye and Colin Swoyer tallying his second assist of the night.

At 1:29, Brandon Hawkins made it a one-goal game with his 16th goal of the season and 4th game in a row with a goal.

That was short-lived after Cincinnati responded on the power play, making it a 5-3 game.

Toledo pulled goaltender Jan Bednar to gain an extra attacker and capitalized right away to make it a one-goal game. Hunter Johannes got his first goal in a Toledo uniform.

Shortly after, Brandon Hawkins tied the game with 1:40 remaining in regulation with his 2nd of the night.

As the game went into overtime, Toledo’s comeback came up just a shy short when Cincinnati scored just 17 seconds into OT.
