CINCINNATI, Ohio - Cincinnati Cyclones rookie forward Mathieu Aubin netted a pair of goals and added an assist in a 5-2 win over Reading Wednesday night at U.S. Bank Arena. Rookie defenseman Jarred Mohr added his second goal of the season and an assist to the cause. Goaltender Cedrick Desjardins stopped 33 shots in taking home his 17th win of the season.

The Cyclones entered the evening with a three-game losing streak and Reading looked to continue it by scoring 64 seconds into the contest. Shawn Collymore netted his eleventh tally of the year to give Reading a 1-0 lead. The Cyclones responded with goals 64 seconds apart to take a 2-1 lead, with Jarred Mohr's second goal of the year at 3:12 and Mathieu Aubin's fifth goal at 4:16. Aubin's goal was assisted by Mohr and Chad Starling. With 11.8 seconds left in the opening frame, Erik Johnson scored his third goal of the season to make the score, 3-1 through 20 minutes.

The Royals closed the gap to 3-2, with Dany Roussin's fifth goal at 59 seconds of the period, but a pair of power play goals later in the frame by the Cyclones extended the lead to 5-2. Aubin's second goal of the night and sixth of the season at 10:09 came from Cincinnati native Jason Deitsch and Matt Macdonald. Cory Urquhart collected his team-leading 22nd goal at 17:16, with Torry Gajda and Aubin picking up the assists.

The five goals scored by the Cyclones are the most since the club slammed home a season-high seven against Wheeling in a 7-1 triumph back on Dec. 23. Cincinnati is 5-1-1 against Reading this season.

The contest saw the return of the Cyclones to U.S. Bank Arena for the first time in 19 days. The club had played five straight games away from home since winning over Toledo on Jan. 12, posting a 2-3 record during the trip. It was Cincinnati's first home game in the second half of the season.

The Cyclones are now 22-16-1-2, holding a two point lead over Trenton and Toledo for the North Division lead. Reading is 19-21-0-5 and is in fifth place in the North Division. The Cyclones host Trenton on Friday (Feb. 2 at 7:30pm at U.S. Bank Arena).
