The Cincinnati Cyclones came one step closer to capturing their second Kelly Cup championship in three seasons Thursday, pushing the Idaho Steelheads to the brink of elimination with a 3-2 win at U.S. Bank Arena. The Cyclones lead the series three games to one, and can close it out with a victory at home Friday.
Cincinnati knows a little about being on the brink, having trailed the American Conference final series three games to none against the Reading Royals before staging a miracle comeback. Idaho would host Games 6 and 7 in Boise with a win Friday.
