Reading meets Worcester in second leg of back-to-back in DCU Center

The Reading Royals, proud affiliate of the Philadelphia Flyers, play the Worcester Railers Saturday, Jan. 15 at 7:05 p.m. at the DCU Center in Worcester, Mass. This is the 6th of 12 meetings between the two teams this season. The Royals are 4-1-0 against the Railers, scoring 20 goals and allowing 12. 

A three-goal second period for Reading and a two-goal night for Thomas Ebbing led the Royals to a 6-3 win over the Railers Friday night, Jan. 14th. Anthony Gagnon, Brad Morrison, Kenny Hausinger and Brayen Low each collected a goal as well in the road victory. Both teams were awarded penalty shots in the middle period and both were successful. Cole Coskey went for the Railers and Thomas Ebbing went minutes later, scoring his first of two in the game.     

Ebbing’s multi-goal game was the fourth of his ECHL career and his first of the season. Jacob Pritchard currently holds a three-game point streak and has tallied four points (four assists) and a +3 rating in his last five games. 

The Royals now sit at the top of the North Division. They play seven games against divisional opponents before a three-game series with the second place team in the division, the Newfoundland Growlers, beginning on Feb. 2nd. Reading holds a 14-7-4-1 record with 33 points, 1 ahead of the Growlers, who have played three fewer games than Reading, 3 points ahead of Maine, and 4 ahead of Trois-Rivieres. Adirondack sits fifth, 5 points behind Reading. The Railers are last with 22 points in 27 games.
