Wheeling’s Grit Tested as They Chase Perfect 2-0 Start Against Resilient Reading Royals in Kelly Cup Showdown
While the Pittsburgh Penguins are in the midst of the Stanley Cup Playoffs at the NHL level, both of the team’s affiliates are beginning their own post-season runs.
And for the Penguins’ ECHL affiliate, things have gotten off to a great start.
On Friday, the Wheeling Nailers began their first-round semifinal series in the Kelly Cup Playoffs at home against the Reading Royals – ECHL affiliate of the Philadelphia Flyers, Pittsburgh’s first-round opponent – and they won Games 1 and 2 on back-to- back days to go ahead in the series, 2-0. They won by a score of 4-0 on Friday – with Taylor Gauthier earning the shutout – and a score of 5-1 on Saturday.
