PLYMOUTH - As the second lowest scoring team in the Ontario Hockey League last season, an early goal for Plymouth Whalers in this season is to pick up the pace offensively.

If today's preseason opener is any indication, the Whalers will have plenty of offense this season.

The Whalers beat Windsor, 10-2, on Saturday afternoon at Compuware Arena in the 'Play it Forward' benefit game with proceeds going to John Bieniewcz Foundation and C.O.P.S. MI (Michigan Concerns of Police Survivors).

Plymouth led, 4-1 after one period and 7-2 after forty minutes.

Matt Mistele led the Plymouth attack with three goals and two assists. Bryce Yetman scored twice, while Mathieu Henderson, Connor Chatham, Mathew Campagna, Danny Vanderwiel and Francesco Vilardi scored one each. Plymouth captain and defenseman Alex Peters recorded three assists.

Logan Brown and Aaron Luchuk replied for Windsor.

In fairness, Plymouth iced a full roster that will resemble their lineup on Opening Night on Sept. 26 in London. Windsor rested several veterans and came to Compuware Arena with a lineup filled with rookies and draft choices.

Plymouth and Windsor meet again on Thursday in Windsor at Family Credit Union Centre (7 pm, 88.1FM WSDP). Plymouth's next home game is next Saturday at 7:05 pm against Saginaw at Compuware Arena.
