The Cincinnati Enquirer

        WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah — The Cincinnati Cyclones and Utah Grizzlies know a thing or two about playing close games and Friday night was no exception, with the Cyclones winning a 4-3 shootout at the E-Center.

        For the third time in three meetings between the clubs this season, a shootout was necessary to determine the winner. For the third time, Cincinnati walked away a winner. This time, overcoming a two-goal first period deficit.
