Tucson, Arizona – The Arizona Coyotes continued their preseason slate Sunday afternoon with their only exhibition contest to take place in the state of Arizona, as they played host to the Anaheim Ducks at the Tucson Arena. A raucous crowd of 4,780 of the Tucson faithful made their way to the rink to see the parent club of their Roadrunners in action. The game marked the second-ever NHL preseason game in the Old Pueblo, exactly five years after another Ducks-Coyotes tilt on September 25, 2017. The Coyotes fell to the Ducks by a score of 3-2, as original Roadrunner Christian Fischer tallied a multi-point outing (1g 1a). Arizona employed a goalie tandem of starter Karel Vejmelka and backup Anson Thornton, while Anaheim stuck with a familiar Tucson foe in backstop Lukas Dostal, who has appeared in net five times against the Roadrunners last season as a member of the San Diego Gulls.
NHL hockey returns to the Old Pueblo as the Arizona Coyotes will play host to the Anaheim Ducks at the Tucson Arena Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. MST. The game will mark the Coyotes’ second preseason contest and their only one in the state of Arizona. The game will feature several Roadrunners alumni, as 19 players on Arizona’s Training Camp Roster have appeared for both the Roadrunners and Coyotes over the last six seasons.
