Tucson Roadrunners' Nathan Smith and Michael Carcone on game night
Roadrunners forward Mike Carcone extended Tucson's advantage to 3-1 late in the second period with his team-leading 27th goal of the season, scored just 1:24 after defenseman Ronald Knot regained the lead for the Roadrunners at 2-1. The score came while on the man-advantage to move Carcone into a tie for the American Hockey League lead in power-play goals at 14, which represents a new Tucson franchise record. The 26-year-old recorded his 20th multi-point outing of the year to become the first Roadrunners player to reach 70 points in a single season. Carcone enters Wednesday's series finale one point behind Ontario forward T.J. Tynan for the AHL scoring lead, with seven less games played than Tynan.
