TUCSON, AZ - The Coachella Valley Firebirds, proud American Hockey League affiliate of the National Hockey League's Seattle Kraken (@SeattleKraken), defeated the Tucson Roadrunners on Friday night at Tucson Arena by the final score of 4-2. Five Firebirds (Ottavainen, Firkus, Stephens, Goyette, Morrison) recorded multi-point games to help guide Coachella Valley to their second straight win.
The Firebirds got the scoring started just 1:50 into the game. Mitchell Stephens dumped the puck into the corner, rolling right to Jacob Melanson whose shot went through the legs of Roadrunners' goaltender Jaxson Stauber. David Goyette picked up the secondary assist on Melanson's third goal of the season. Coachella Valley added to their lead as Goyette netted his first goal of the season, assisted by Stephens and Ville Ottavainen at 5:16 of the first.
Just 1:16 into the middle frame, Coachella Valley extended their lead. Logan Morrison's spinning pass found J.R. Avon at the top of left circle. Avon put the puck on the net where it banked off the skate of Jagger Firkus into the net to make it 3-0 Firebirds. Cameron Hebig scored to cut the Roadrunners' deficit to two at 10:20.
Hebig netted his second goal of the game on the powerplay at 8:09 of the third period to make it a one goal game. Tucson pulled their goaltender late in the third period and Logan Morrison sealed the victory with an empty net goal. Firkus and Ottavainen each earned assists on Morrison's third goal of the season at 18:26.
Nikke Kokko finished the night with 25 saves on 27 shots as the Firebirds' record improves to 5-4-1-0 on the 2025-26 season.
