While the Flyers are enduring a six game losing streak, the Reading Royals are on fire, finally right!!! They are on a six game winning streak, as new Head Coach James Henry moves to 7-4-1 on the season. Nolan Maier registered his fourth straight victory of the season in a nail biting performance 3-2 over the Adirondack Thunder yesterday. He made 21 saves on 23 shots faced, and was great at tracking the puck in this tilt. The Royals are doing a great job in limiting quality scoring chances for their opponents.
Simply put, the Royals are flying high right now, while the Flyers are decimated with injuries, trying to keep some what of a season afloat.
Maier has been phenomenal between the pipes for the Royals this season. He has seen time with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, and has split time between the pipes with Pat Nagle, as well. Maier is 4-2-1 on the season, with a 2.36 GAA, and a .905 Save Percentage. Very Impressive indeed from the rookie, as Maier is getting his first taste of professional hockey. He put forth excellent camps, so it comes as no surprise he’s excelling with the Royals.
Colin Felix is a veteran that stabilizes the youth of Reading, and he now has three goals and four assists on the season. Max Newton leads the team in goals with (9) now, and assists with seven for his efforts as he continues to shine. Will MacKinnon registered two assists in the victory as he now has two goals and five assists on the season.
The Royals seem to have everything clicking at the moment, so let’s hope it continues onto this Wednesday against a tough Maine Mariners club.
