The team currently holds fourth place in the North Division with 63 points in the standings and a record of 30-26-0-3 in those 59 games.
Four teams from each division compete in the playoffs in the ECHL. The Railers have a nine more points, the equivalent to four wins and an overtime loss, than the fifth place Adirondack Thunder. As of today, the Railers have played two more games than the Thunder.
Should the Railers finish in fourth place or better to finish the season, the team will make its the first playoff appearance since its inaugural season.
