Reading, PA : 03 . 23 . 24 – St. Hattricks Night at Santander Arena, maybe brought some Irish luck with a late Nardi goal that forced overtime and Jake Smith capped off the night with the overtime winner on Saturday night. Just one goal had been scored for 54 minutes of regulation until Joseph Nardi knotted things up and celebrated his game-tying goal upside down. Nardi sent downtown Reading into party mode or pardi mode if you would. The Royals would then secure the two points with Jake Smith’s overtime winner 3:37 into overtime. Maier earned first-star honors behind his 27-save performance.

Reading, PA : 03 . 24 . 24 – Not the way the Royals would’ve liked to end the weekend before hitting the road. Evenly matched on the shots, it seemed Reading had more chances but the Railers had more where it counted. Nardi and Smith each scored again for Reading, and Cosgrove scored twice for Worcester both into an empty net.
