BOX SCORE 

Will Gavin (5) opened the scoring midway through the first at 9:51, assisted by Kristof Papp and Holden Wale. The Royals would battle and tie it up with two seconds left in the period on Captain Miles Gendron’s (1) first goal of the season at 19:58, 1-1.

Brandon Osmundson (6) from Jack O’Leary gave the Admirals the lead at 3:41, 2-1. It wouldn’t last long as Jeremy Michel (5) scored shorthanded to tie the game yet again at 7:26 in the second period. Michel now leads the Royals in scoring with eight points (5g-3a) through seven games this season.

The Admirals restored their one-goal lead for good at 17:29 in the second period on a Michael Citara (2) power play goal from Ryan Gagnon and Will Gavin. That would prove to be enough for the Admirals as Reading went scoreless in the third.

A very physical game on both sides, seven different powerplays for each side and fifty six combined penalty minutes for the first of seven meetings between the two clubs this season.
