The Tucson Roadrunners held serve to stay in seventh place in the AHL's Pacific Division — also the division's final playoff spot — by splitting two games with the Ontario Reign Tuesday (a 4-1 win) and Wednesday (a 4-0 loss)…
James Kelley Special to the Arizona Daily Star Amid a plethora of penalties, the Tucson Roadrunners had to settle for another series split.
“It was an unfortunate game honestly,” Tucson head coach Steve Potvin said. “We didn’t get off to a really good start. The penalties I think were 9-4 and I think we had half of those in the first period, so you can’t start off that way.”People are also reading… After a scoreless first period, Ontario scored three goals in the second, starting with one by defenseman Tobias Bjornfot, who also lit the lamp in the series opener.
“It’s obviously frustrating, where we are in the standings we want to win every game,” forward Adam Cracknell said. “We’ve had the opportunity to beat these guys twice in a row and we just seem to not be able to do it, so credit to them, they always come out good the second game and we expect them to do that and they did, we just didn’t have a response, just a little too late.”
Doan said his brother saw him as a Roadrunner for the first time and his parents, including Arizona Coyotes' legend Shane Doan, were there again for his third game as a pro. “We got to see power play convert for the first time in a long time. I thought that was really, really great," he added."it wasn’t even just the goal. I thought that carried momentum into our 5-on-5.”
