The Reading Royals, proud affiliate of the Philadelphia Flyers, play the Wheeling Nailers Saturday, Feb. 19 at 4:00 p.m. at Santander Arena. This is the first of five meetings between the two teams this season. Both teams have won four of their last five games as well as seven of their last ten.

Erik Jesberger previews the Royals game on Feb. 19, 2022.

Reading and Wheeling last met on Feb. 19, 2020 where the Royals defeated the Nailers, 6-3, at Wesbanco Arena.

Multi-point games for Brayden Low(1 G/1 A) and Marly Quince (1 G/1 A) and a four-goal second period propelled the Royals over the Nailers

Goals from Quince, Low, Thomas Ebbing and Corey Mackin in the middle frame extended the Royals lead to as large as three-goals. Matt Abt and Nick Saracino scored for Wheeling to send the game into the final period of regulation with Reading ahead, 5-2.

Yushiro Hirano scored for Wheeling halfway into the third period to cut the deficit to two. However, Steven Swavley sealed the victory for the Royals with a goal in the final minute to earn Reading's fifth win in seven meetings between the two teams in the 2019-20 season.

The Royals sit in first place in the North Division as they begin a weekend of consecutive afternoon games. Reading holds a 23-10-5-1 record with a .667 point percentage.
