(WAUSAU, WI)- Wausau will make their final road trip of the regular season this weekend by visiting St. Louis. The Cyclones can clinch a postseason berth with a pair of wins this weekend, which would mark the first time in franchise history the team has reached the playoffs in consecutive years.

Player to Watch
