RECAP: Golder Scores Lone Goal, Royals Late Push Falls Short to Railers, 2-1

Reading, PA - The Reading Royals (9-9-2-0, 20 PTS), proud ECHL affiliate of the Philadelphia Flyers and Lehigh Valley Phantoms, fell to the Worcester Railers (9-8-1-1, 20 PTS), 2-1, at Santander Arena on Saturday, December 6th.

Goaltender Keith Petruzzelli (3-7-1-0) suffered the loss in goal with 28 saves on 30 shots faced while Railers’ netminder Parker Gahagen (5-3-0-0) earned the win in goal with 40 saves on 41 shots faced. 

BOX SCORE

After a scoreless first period, Worcester scored twice in the middle frame for a 2-0 lead after 40 minutes on goals from Anthony Callin (4) at 6:26 and Ross Mitton (2) at 16:27. 

The Royals were outshot by the Railers 27-22 through the opening two periods, but outshot Worcester in the third, 19-3, for a single-period season-high in shots on goal.
