Punctuating the best statistical month by a player in Tucson Roadrunners history, the American Hockey League named forward Michael Carcone its player of the month for December.
Carcone tallied 10 goals and 20 points in just 10 games for the month, marking the first time a Tucson player has earned the league’s top monthly award.
Those good things happened a lot for Carcone even outside of December. Despite him not being with the team for the last 10 days, Carcone still leads the AHL’s with 46 points in 27 games heading into this weekend’s action. That includes the Roadrunners' Friday and Saturday home games against the Colorado Eagles.
Tucson plays 10 games at home in January ... and just two in Tucson Arena in February thanks to the club’s annual gem show road trip. Friday's 7 p.m. game against the Eagles marks the first of eight new matchups in the month against teams Tucson hasn’t faced yet this season. Roadrunners’ All-Star chancesThe AHL is fast approaching its midseason All-Star Classic, scheduled for Feb. 5-6 at Place Bell in Laval, Quebec.
