The Tucson Roadrunners (30-26-9-0) surrendered a three-goal lead in a 4-3 loss to the Henderson Silver Knights (34-20-7-4) on Friday at Lee's Family Forum. After captain Austin Poganski opened the scoring midway through the first period, Sammy Walker and Daniil but pushed Tucson ahead 3-0 midway through the second.

Scott Perunovich recorded his 44th point and team-leading 36th assist of the season on Walker's goal, setting new single-season franchise records for both points and assists by a Roadrunners defenseman. He surpassed Jamie McBain's previous assist mark (35 in 2016-17) and the points record of 43 shared by McBain and Kyle Wood, also set in 2016-17.

Henderson responded with four unanswered goals, including Viliam Kmec's game-winner with 24 seconds remaining in regulation.
