Key power play for the Americans here. Jalen Smereck will sit for 2:00 for hooking.

A 4-on-4 goal by Jack Combs gives the @AllenAmericans a breath of life here in the third period.

He had wide-open ice thanks to a loose puck and backhanded it behind Warm.

Lincoln Griffin is on an absolute tear right now! With two goals each in back-to-back nights, he now has a team-leading eight goals on the season.

Zack Andrusiak and Zach Berzoll are credited with the helpers.

[FPHCyclones @FPHCyclones]

Lincoln Griffin finds the puck with some space and takes a wide-angle shot to snap the puck past Peressini for the true 2-0 tally.

Dajon Mingo & Dakota Betts with the helpers. Betts has a two-point night.

@RedArmyHooligan Exactly. 😅

[FPHCyclones @FPHCyclones]

The goal has been wiped off the board, citing "incidental contact with the goaltender." Looks like Caparusso might have been pushing Pressini's leg during the battle.

This is the second game in a row where Allen challenged a Cincinnati goal and it got overturned.

[FPHCyclones @FPHCyclones]

This one is under review for goaltender interference. The Americans were not happy with the call of a good goal by the officials.

[FPHCyclones @FPHCyclones]

Electric end to the end of the 2nd. From an overturned goal, amazing defensive play from Cincinnati against a desperate Allen squad, & an almost fight, the back half of the period had it all.

@CincyCyclones still has the 1-0 lead over @AllenAmericans. Cincy leads in shots 33-23.

Rough power play for the @AllenAmericans, but they managed to not give up any short-handed goals.

0-1 | 8:46 remaining in the 2nd | #ALNvsCIN #CincyCyclones #LiveInTheRed

[FPHCyclones @FPHCyclones]

Shortly after the Americans penalty kill, several players from each team go into the boards behind Warm. Zack Andrusiak gets called for hooking at 8:49, sending Cincinnati on their first kill of the game.

Cincinnati headed to the power play.

Former Allen American Josh Burnside setting up another high-danger shift for the Cyclones. Goaltender Luke Peressini covers it to keep this a one-goal game.
