The Tucson Roadrunners defeated the Henderson Silver Knights Saturday night and Sunday afternoon — both by 3-2 final scores — to run their current winning streak at Tucson Arena to six games.
James Kelley Special to the Arizona Daily Star The friendly confines of Tucson Arena were sweet for the Tucson Roadrunners this weekend, as Tucson snapped a five-game losing streak, swept a division opponent during a late-season playoff push, and saw forward Mike Carcone tie his own club record for goals in a single season.
The pair of wins over the Silver Knights gives the Roadrunners three straight series sweeps at home, just in time for Tucson to hit the road again; they next head to the Windy City region to face the Chicago Wolves in Rosemont, Illinois, Saturday at 6 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. “Obviously there’s gonna be ups and downs in the season so you just gotta be mentally tough and stick with it,” he added. “I’ve been there before.”
Two of those six consecutive home wins did come against the same Chicago team Tucson will travel to play this coming weekend. The Roadrunners won 5-1 and 4-1 on back-to-back weeknights in late January at Tucson Arena. The jerseys and ties were auctioned off for Duclair-Imama Foundation, which supports minority involvement in hockey. The players wore the ties prior to the game, and team employees throughout the evening.
