Producing On The Power-Play
The Roadrunners scored three power-play goals in their most recent game against the Ontario Reign on Sunday, January 23. Tucson now has five goals in their last four games while on the man advantage. Two of the scores belong to Michael Carcone, with Cameron Hebig, Jan Jenik, and Terry Broadhurst each adding another. Jenik leads the Roadrunners in power-play goals with five, while Carcone and rookie Matias Maccelli each have four.
Carcone Keeps Scoring
Including his pair of power-play goals while on the Roadrunners six-game road trip, forward Mike Carcone possesses an active point streak of six games. The 25-year-old has eight points in as many games with Tucson dating back to December 18, with his NHL debut coming during the span on December 28 with the Arizona Coyotes. Carcone is a goal away from posting double digit goals and assists for the fifth-straight season, after leading the Roadrunners in goals last season with 15.
Sending Home Scoring Streaks
Along with Mike Carcone’s active point streak of six games, four other Roadrunners enter the week at home with scoring streaks of three games or more. Jan Jenik, Matias Maccelli, and Vlad Kolyachonok have each recorded a point in four-straight contests, while Travis Barron has a point in three consecutive outings.
Empey Amps Up
Roadrunners forward Tyson Empey scored his first career AHL goal in the second period of Sunday’s matchup with the Ontario Reign. The goal came during a six-game road trip which saw Empey take on a larger role in the Roadrunners offense. The 26-year-old is in his first season with Tucson after making the roster out of the training camp.
Did You Know?
With a goal in Sunday’s game against the Ontario Reign, Roadrunners forward Matias Maccelli became the fourth AHL rookie to tally double-digit goals and points on the season. The 21-year-old leads all rookies in assists with 23 and is one of six first-year skaters to average a point per-game with at least 20 games played.
