The Reading Royals (win, 16-9-1-1=34) of the ECHL, affiliate of the Philadelphia Flyers of the National Hockey League and the Lehigh Valley Phantoms of the American Hockey League, defeated the Elmira Jackals (loss 15-11-0-3=33), 5-2, at First Arena in Elmira, New York.
In the return game after a five day holiday break, the Royals built a 4-0 lead through two periods and held on to win the team’s fourth straight game—and the 500th regular season victory in the fourteen year history of the club. With the win the Royals pushed the team’s record to seven games over .500 for the first time this season and jumped over the Jackals for sole possession of third place in the East Division. Reading got a pair of goals awarded to the team after the on-ice officials conferred with the goal judges, including the first goal of the game which proved to be Matt Hatch’s first goal as a pro. The second goal that was awarded after a goal-judge discussion proved to be the game winner (by Cam Reid), as the team completed this most recent five game road trip 4-1-0-0.
