MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich. – The Metro Jets’ offense scored three goals in the first period and two in the second and third periods to take a 7-2 win over the Cincinnati Jr. Cyclones Friday night at Mount Clemens Ice Arena.

“We started pretty strong, and this is playoff hockey right now,” Mastay said. “We’re getting ready for playoffs and we need to come out buzzing. We did that tonight. My line was on fire and we were snapping it around. It was a great game.”
Patrick Hays, Dakota Kott, Anders Grongstad and Alex Bedenko scored single goals for the Jets and Ryan Messing, Cristian Adragna and Owen Limback posted two assists apiece.
For Cincinnati, Drake Barnish and Jordan Winrod scored and Jack Cooper finished with 37 saves in suffering the defeat in goal.

“We have to come ready and we know they’ll be ready,” Mastay said. “Like I said, this is playoff hockey. Standings don’t matter.”
