AHL leading scorer Michael Carcone's two goals and an assist Friday help the Tucson Roadrunners live to fight another day in the Calder Cup playoffs with a 4-3 win at Coachella Valley, setting up a decisive Game 3 Sunday.
Brett Fera Tucson Roadrunners record-breaking forward Michael Carcone might not say publicly if he was disappointed by losing out on the AHL’s Most Valuable Player award; the winner was announced early Friday, and Carcone, the league’s most complete offensive weapon this season, wasn’t it.

Just an overall good job,” Carcone said during a postgame interview with Roadrunners play-by-play voice Adrian Denny. “We’ll enjoy it tonight and get back at it Sunday.”
“That was playoff hockey,” Keleman said. “We blocked so many shots. Ivan was really good in the net.” Carcone, whose own assist came on Theisen’s game-opening goal six minutes into the first, led the AHL in points, notching 85 in 65 games played. His 31 goals were fifth overall, and his 54 assists third.
