Phoenix RoadRunners News Release
PHOENIX, Ariz. - The Phoenix RoadRunners of the ECHL, a proud affiliate of the San Jose Sharks and the Worcester Sharks, will look to continue their push towards the Kelly Cup Playoffs as they host their final home game of the 2008-09 regular season at 7:05 p.m. Saturday when they welcome the Alaska Aces to US Airways Center.
With five games remaining in the regular season, the RoadRunners currently sit three points behind the Stockton Thunder for the fourth and final playoff spot in the Pacific Division playoffs, and seven points behind the Utah Grizzlies for the fourth and final playoff spot in the West Division playoffs. Utah visits Stockton at 7:30 p.m. tonight at Stockton Arena.
