Pietrowski\/InsideTheRink <\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<article>\n<p>The Adirondack Thunder and Reading Royals faced off on Saturday Night to complete the season series, as the Thunder were 3-1-2-1 against the Royals heading into Saturday. It was a slow start for the Thunder as they didn\u2019t get their first shot on goal until the 7:32 mark. Despite the slow start, Adirondack got on the board first as Dylan Wendt fed Brannon McManus for 24th of the season at 12:36. The Thunder, despite the slow start, would outshoot the Royals 9-6 in the opening 20 minutes. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cYou always feel good when you score in the first period\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Brannon McManus on his two-goal night<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In the second period, the Royals would use the momentum from a PP that carried into the second period to tie the game at two. Liam Devlin would fire a shot on Tyler Brennan, who made the save, but the rebound popped out to Jacob Frasca, who netted his 10th of the season less than two minutes into the middle frame. That goal would end up being the last five-on-five goal of Saturday\u2019s game. Adirondack got the lead back 10 minutes later as Kevin O\u2019Neil fed Matt Salhany for his 15th of the season. At the 16:58 mark, Tanner Edwards would throw a big hit on Reading\u2019s Kyle Haskins, which would send Edwards to the showers early and give the Royals a 5-minute power play. Connor Kurth found the back of the net for his 12th of the season as we\u2019d have a tie game after 40. Owen McLaughlin picked up his first career point as he got the primary assist on the Kurth goal. <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cYa, that\u2019s so important. Special teams for awhile we were struggling and that\u2019s the games we were losing, it\u2019s so huge and especially down the stretch and in playoffs to get goals on your special teams\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Matt Salhany on Adirondack scoring three PP goals on Saturday Night<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In the third, the back and forth would continue as Patrick Grasso fired a back-hander through the legs of Yaniv Perets to give Adirondack the lead at 6:07. Adirondack would look to hold on to that lead as they searched for their first regulation win since February 22nd. It would be Patrick Grasso who went off for hooking at 14:25 that gave Reading another chance on the PP. Kyle Haskins took a shot that barely snuck by Brennan and tied the game at 15:46, sending the game to OT. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cI think we\u2019re addicted to it\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Brannon McManus when talking about the team playing 20 OT games this season so far<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>For Adirondack, it would be their league-leading 20th OT game of the season. Victor Hadfield took a double-minor for hooking at 1:45 of OT, opening the doors for the Thunder. Brannon McManus would be the OT hero once again, netting his second of the night and 25th of the season to send the soldout crowd at Harding Mazzotti Arena home happy. It would be just the second time all season that Adirondack had three PP goals in a game. The first time came back on December 21st vs Norfolk. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ticketmaster.evyy.net\/c\/5142595\/410529\/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fnhl\" target=\"_top\" id=\"410529\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a.impactradius-go.com\/display-ad\/4272-410529\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"468\" height=\"60\"\/><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"0\" width=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/ticketmaster.evyy.net\/i\/5142595\/410529\/4272\" style=\"position:absolute;visibility:hidden;\" border=\"0\"\/><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/insidetherink.com\/join-us\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/insidetherink.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/1000002446-1024x512.webp\" alt=\"ITR Join Us\" class=\"wp-image-136935\" srcset=\"https:\/\/insidetherink.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/1000002446-1024x512.webp 1024w, https:\/\/insidetherink.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/1000002446-300x150.webp 300w, https:\/\/insidetherink.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/1000002446-768x384.webp 768w, https:\/\/insidetherink.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/1000002446.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-border-color\" style=\"border-style:none;border-width:0px;margin-top:32px;margin-bottom:32px;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\" style=\"margin-bottom:24px\"\/>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" style=\"margin-top:4px;margin-bottom:10px\">Discover more from Inside The Rink<\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px;font-size:15px\">Subscribe to get the latest posts sent to your email.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-post clearfix\">\n<div class=\"author-image\">\n <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/insidetherink.com\/author\/aklisivitch\/\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/7e8962a92e8de8241fb0a2c27430797c3b7b87588468f8b21a7c117a58c967d6?s=75&d=mm&r=g\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/7e8962a92e8de8241fb0a2c27430797c3b7b87588468f8b21a7c117a58c967d6?s=150&d=mm&r=g 2x\" class=\"avatar avatar-75 photo\" height=\"75\" width=\"75\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"\/><\/a>\n <\/div>\n<div class=\"author-details\">\n<h4><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/insidetherink.com\/author\/aklisivitch\/\">Armand Klisivitch<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>Inside The Rink ECHL Manager | Senior Editor <br \/>\nCredentialed Reporter for the Adirondack Thunder & Worcester Railers.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p> \t<\/p>\n<h2\/>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-sm-4\">\n<div id=\"post-176654\" class=\"post-176654 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-echl category-mountain category-tulsa-oilers tag-echl-fines tag-j-c-brassard eq-blocks\">\n<div class=\"news-snippet\">\n <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/insidetherink.com\/echl-j-c-brassard-fined\/\" rel=\"bookmark\" class=\"featured-image\"><br \/>\n <img width=\"300\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/insidetherink.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/edited-1-18-scaled-e1774121042866-300x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/insidetherink.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/edited-1-18-scaled-e1774121042866-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/insidetherink.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/edited-1-18-scaled-e1774121042866-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/insidetherink.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/edited-1-18-scaled-e1774121042866-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/insidetherink.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/edited-1-18-scaled-e1774121042866.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\"\/> <\/a> <\/p>\n<div class=\"summary\">\n<h4 class=\"blog-news-title\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/insidetherink.com\/echl-j-c-brassard-fined\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">ECHL: J.C.

Pietrowski\/InsideTheRink <\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<article>\n<p>The Adirondack Thunder and Reading Royals faced off on Saturday Night to complete the season series, as the Thunder were 3-1-2-1 against the Royals heading into Saturday. It was a slow start for the Thunder as they didn\u2019t get their first shot on goal until the 7:32 mark. Despite the slow start, Adirondack got on the board first as Dylan Wendt fed Brannon McManus for 24th of the season at 12:36. The Thunder, despite the slow start, would outshoot the Royals 9-6 in the opening 20 minutes. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cYou always feel good when you score in the first period\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Brannon McManus on his two-goal night<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In the second period, the Royals would use the momentum from a PP that carried into the second period to tie the game at two. Liam Devlin would fire a shot on Tyler Brennan, who made the save, but the rebound popped out to Jacob Frasca, who netted his 10th of the season less than two minutes into the middle frame. That goal would end up being the last five-on-five goal of Saturday\u2019s game. Adirondack got the lead back 10 minutes later as Kevin O\u2019Neil fed Matt Salhany for his 15th of the season. At the 16:58 mark, Tanner Edwards would throw a big hit on Reading\u2019s Kyle Haskins, which would send Edwards to the showers early and give the Royals a 5-minute power play. Connor Kurth found the back of the net for his 12th of the season as we\u2019d have a tie game after 40. Owen McLaughlin picked up his first career point as he got the primary assist on the Kurth goal. <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cYa, that\u2019s so important. Special teams for awhile we were struggling and that\u2019s the games we were losing, it\u2019s so huge and especially down the stretch and in playoffs to get goals on your special teams\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Matt Salhany on Adirondack scoring three PP goals on Saturday Night<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In the third, the back and forth would continue as Patrick Grasso fired a back-hander through the legs of Yaniv Perets to give Adirondack the lead at 6:07. Adirondack would look to hold on to that lead as they searched for their first regulation win since February 22nd. It would be Patrick Grasso who went off for hooking at 14:25 that gave Reading another chance on the PP. Kyle Haskins took a shot that barely snuck by Brennan and tied the game at 15:46, sending the game to OT. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cI think we\u2019re addicted to it\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Brannon McManus when talking about the team playing 20 OT games this season so far<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>For Adirondack, it would be their league-leading 20th OT game of the season. Victor Hadfield took a double-minor for hooking at 1:45 of OT, opening the doors for the Thunder. Brannon McManus would be the OT hero once again, netting his second of the night and 25th of the season to send the soldout crowd at Harding Mazzotti Arena home happy. It would be just the second time all season that Adirondack had three PP goals in a game. The first time came back on December 21st vs Norfolk. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ticketmaster.evyy.net\/c\/5142595\/410529\/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fnhl\" target=\"_top\" id=\"410529\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a.impactradius-go.com\/display-ad\/4272-410529\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"468\" height=\"60\"\/><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"0\" width=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/ticketmaster.evyy.net\/i\/5142595\/410529\/4272\" style=\"position:absolute;visibility:hidden;\" border=\"0\"\/><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/insidetherink.com\/join-us\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/insidetherink.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/1000002446-1024x512.webp\" alt=\"ITR Join Us\" class=\"wp-image-136935\" srcset=\"https:\/\/insidetherink.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/1000002446-1024x512.webp 1024w, https:\/\/insidetherink.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/1000002446-300x150.webp 300w, https:\/\/insidetherink.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/1000002446-768x384.webp 768w, https:\/\/insidetherink.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/1000002446.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-border-color\" style=\"border-style:none;border-width:0px;margin-top:32px;margin-bottom:32px;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\" style=\"margin-bottom:24px\"\/>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" style=\"margin-top:4px;margin-bottom:10px\">Discover more from Inside The Rink<\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px;font-size:15px\">Subscribe to get the latest posts sent to your email.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-post clearfix\">\n<div class=\"author-image\">\n <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/insidetherink.com\/author\/aklisivitch\/\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/7e8962a92e8de8241fb0a2c27430797c3b7b87588468f8b21a7c117a58c967d6?s=75&d=mm&r=g\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/7e8962a92e8de8241fb0a2c27430797c3b7b87588468f8b21a7c117a58c967d6?s=150&d=mm&r=g 2x\" class=\"avatar avatar-75 photo\" height=\"75\" width=\"75\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"\/><\/a>\n <\/div>\n<div class=\"author-details\">\n<h4><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/insidetherink.com\/author\/aklisivitch\/\">Armand Klisivitch<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>Inside The Rink ECHL Manager | Senior Editor <br \/>\nCredentialed Reporter for the Adirondack Thunder & Worcester Railers.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p> \t<\/p>\n<h2\/>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-sm-4\">\n<div id=\"post-176654\" class=\"post-176654 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-echl category-mountain category-tulsa-oilers tag-echl-fines tag-j-c-brassard eq-blocks\">\n<div class=\"news-snippet\">\n <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/insidetherink.com\/echl-j-c-brassard-fined\/\" rel=\"bookmark\" class=\"featured-image\"><br \/>\n <img width=\"300\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/insidetherink.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/edited-1-18-scaled-e1774121042866-300x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/insidetherink.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/edited-1-18-scaled-e1774121042866-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/insidetherink.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/edited-1-18-scaled-e1774121042866-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/insidetherink.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/edited-1-18-scaled-e1774121042866-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/insidetherink.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/edited-1-18-scaled-e1774121042866.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\"\/> <\/a> <\/p>\n<div class=\"summary\">\n<h4 class=\"blog-news-title\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/insidetherink.com\/echl-j-c-brassard-fined\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">ECHL: J.C.
