Cincinnati jumped out to a 1-0 lead 6:09 into the first when forward Jesse Schultz slid a pass to Knodel at the blue line, and he hammered a shot in past Toledo goaltender Pat Nagle to put the Cyclones up, early. Toledo responded roughly nine minutes later when Greg Wolfe lit the lamp to even the game, 1-1, heading into the first intermission.
The 1-1 tie held up through the second, and in the third, Powell put Cincinnati back on top when he took a pass from Schultz and turned a shot on goal that was kicked out by Nagle, but Powell buried his own rebound to put the ‘Clones up, 2-1, 9:28 into the third.
Cincinnati received an insurance goal at the 13:16 mark of the period while shorthanded, as Aquin skated down the left side and took a slapshot that trickled in to put the Cyclones up, 3-1. 2018 was capped off with less than a minute to go when Wideman buried an empty netter from his own end to seal Cincinnati’s 4-1 win.
The Cyclones outshot Toledo, 41-23 on the evening, with goaltender Michael Houserstopping 22 in the win. Cincinnati continues their four-game homestand on Friday night against the Ft. Wayne Komets. Face-off is slated for 7:35pm.
