The Reading Royals, proud affiliate of the Philadelphia Flyers, play the Worcester Railers Monday, Jan. 17 at 1:00 p.m. at Santander Arena in Reading, Pa. This is the 7th of 12 meetings between the two teams this season, with seven of the last eight overall matchups being against Worcester. The Royals are 4-2-0 against the Railers.

In their previous game, Worcester beat Reading, 2-1. After falling into a 2-0 hole after 20 minutes, Jacob Pritchard scored his first goal since Dec. 1 in the middle frame after Jackson Cressey's effort forced a turnover by the Railers. Pritchard sneakily took position to the right of goaltender Ken Appleby before slotting it between him and the near post. Cressey has now recorded points in back-to-back games for the first time in his career.

Reading currently leads the North Division with 33 points in 27 games and a record of 14-8-4-1. Worcester sits last with 24 points in 28 games and a record of 11-15-1-1. The Newfoundland Growlers occupy the second spot with 32 points but hold five games in-hand over the Royals with only 22 games played.
