Promising signs


What a difference a lead makes. After constantly playing from behind, the Royals got off to a quick start tonight building a 3-0 lead after one period on their way to a 6-2 win over Idaho -- the team's first at home.

Despite being outshot, the Royals played better defensively, and the offense found it's balance with several players grabbing multiple points. Goalie Danny Taylor made several key saves as the Royals held off the Steelheads' charge in the third as Idaho cut it to 4-2 before the Royals put the game away.

Royals head out on the road for four games with Northern Divison teams before returning home Nov. 9 against Dayton.
