Cincinnati, OH – The Cincinnati Cyclones exploded for four unanswered goals in the third period to trounce the Dayton Bombers 6-3 on Saturday night at Firstar Center.

The win coupled with Wheeling's loss at home to Toledo pushed the Cyclones to a three-point lead over the Nailers for the fourth and final playoff spot in the ECHL's Northwest Division. Cincinnati's magic number stands at six points to clinch the playoff berth.

Goaltender Alex Westlund made 29 saves to pick up the win in goal. Cincinnati is now 12-2-2 over their last 16 games.
