Reading Royals and Phantoms fans know Nolan Maier quite well. He had a phenomenal season in 2022-23 for both the Royals and Phantoms.
Maier went 12-8-3, with a 2.89 GAA, and a .892 Save Percentage for the Royals, while seeing call-ups with the Phantoms at times. These numbers became impressive because of such, and Maier stood on his head at times for the Royals.
Today, he was great, not good, but great. Maier made 36 saves on 37 shots faced, as he earned the Royals a 2-1 victory. This victory was a much needed one for the Reading Royals, who are vying and jockeying for playoff positioning.
