The Cincinnati Cyclones received a four assist performance from rookie David Desharnais in a 4-0 win over Las Vegas on Monday night. The victory gives the Cyclones a three games to two lead over the Wranglers for the Kelly Cup. The triumph was Cincinnati’s league-record 70th between the regular season and playoffs.

Goaltender Cedrick Desjardins stoppws all 27 shots in picking up his first playoff shutout this season and third of his career. Desjardins has allowed just seven goals in five Kelly Cup Finals games.

This was the fifth game of the best of seven Kelly Cup Finals. The sixth game will be held at the U.S. Bank Arena on Thursday night (June 7) at 7:30pm. It is the first time in 35 years that a Cincinnati pro hockey team has competed in its league finals. The last team to compete for a championship was the 1973 Cincinnati Swords, which captured the AHL’s Calder Cup in five games over Nova Scotia.

With the victory, the Cyclones become the first team in the 20 year history of the ECHL to win 70 games between the regular season and playoffs. Cincinnati eclipsed the previous record of 69 set by the 2005-06 Kelly Cup champion Alaska Aces. The Cyclones won 55 games during the regular season and have now won 15 additional games during the postseason.

The Cyclones opened the scoring 3:57 into the game, when right wing Jean-Michel Daoust netted a backhander from the right post past Kevin Lalande for his fifth goal of the postseason. David Desharnais collected the assist on the goal. The lead extended to 2-0 at 10:50, as defenseman Conrad Martin fired home his fifth score of the playoffs from Daoust and Desharnais.

Cincinnati pushed the lead to 3-0, when Matt Syroczynski netted his seventh goal of the Kelly Cup playoffs at 3:24 from Desharnais. The goal put a premature end to Lalande’s night—as he was chased after making ten saves on the 13 shots he faced. Cincinnati outshot the Wrangler, 12-9, in the frame.

A late goal from Ryan Russel, his third of the postseason, from Desharnais closed out the scoring. Las Vegas outshot Cincinnati, 12-2, in the period and 27-23 for the game.

Should a seventh game be necessary in the series, it would also be played at U.S. Bank Arena on Saturday (June 7) at 7:30pm.
