Wranglers Defeated By Eagles
The Matchup
The Wranglers held the edge over Tucson with a 5-3 record last season.
Now, they'll look to regain momentum and notch their first victory of the new campaign against a familiar opponent.
Eyes are on the race to 98 points as Rory Kerins and Jeremie Poirier chase the Wranglers all-time point scoring record, currently held by Ben Jones (97 points).
Adam Klapka, now skating with the Flames, tied the record last season before his call-up to the big club.
The Other Side
The Roadrunners are coming off a split series against the Ontario Reign, winning 5-4 on Oct. 10 before falling 4-2 on Oct. 12.
Leading the way for Tucson is Sam Walker, who has tallied four points (two goals, two assists) so far.
Walker signed a one-year AHL contract with the Roadrunners on Oct. 1 after splitting last season between Tucson and the Iowa Wild, where he posted 33 points (10 goals, 23 assists).
A familiar face for Calgary fans will be on the ice in Tucson: veteran forward Kevin Rooney.
The former Flame made an impact in the Oct. 10 game by forcing overtime and has already recorded two points with the Roadrunners in the season.
