Hockey season in Tucson will last just a while longer this year. With a road win over the Iowa Wild, the Tucson Roadrunners have officially clinched a spot in the Calder Cup Playoffs.
Tucson only needed a single point on Saturday to clinch a spot in the Calder Cup Playoffs (a minimum overtime loss), but the Roadrunners defeated Iowa, 4-3, in the Wells Fargo Center.
What began with a slow start in the first half of the first period, Iowa was to first to strike, scoring a power-play goal 10:53 into the first period.
It didn’t take too much long after until Tucson’s Carter Camper found the back of the net from near the blue line at 14:55, tying the game at one apiece.
