Roadrunners fall 4-3 in penultimate game of regular season. San Jose and Tucson finish off schedule Saturday at 7 p.m. at Tucson Arena.
James Kelley Arizona Daily Star The Tucson Roadrunners’ bid to finish the regular season over .500 ended on Friday night when yet another third-period rally came up just short.
The Barracuda were 2-for-6 on the power play, while Tucson was 0-for-4. The Roadrunners outshot San Jose 37-29. Tucson forward Nathan Smith scored a goal 7:45 into the game, assisted by center Jean-Sebastien Dea and defenseman Cameron Crotty. “They’re playing on both ends of the rink and most often when you play with a good hard mindset in the defensive zone you’re gonna get a lot of good offensive looks and those guys are playing really well together.”
The Roadrunners were unable to convert on a 6-on-4 that they had for 40 seconds in the last minute, which ended when defenseman Steven Kampfer took a tripping penalty rather than surrender an empty net goal.• Before the game the Coyotes sent five players to Tucson after their season ended on Thursday: goalie Ivan Prosvetov, defensemen Victor Soderstrom and Michael Kesselring and forwards Milos Kelemen and Jan Jenik. All five were scratches on Friday night.
