Tucson needs every element of its game clicking this weekend to get back into the AHL postseason race.
Brett Fera There may be no better indicator of the Tucson Roadrunners’ up-and-down 2021-22 season than these two wildly disparate truths:
The Roadrunners welcome the Henderson Silver Knights to Tucson Arena at 7 p.m. Saturday in the first of two this weekend and four in a row at home over the next two weeks. Varady wasn’t ready to necessarily lay blame for his team’s defensive woes squarely on the pads of his goaltenders, including third-year Roadrunner Ivan Prosvetov. Instead, Varady said he hopes a return to Tucson, where his club has spent just one of the past five weeks, allows for a return to fundamentals. After all, he noted, roughly 40% of the 2021-22 regular season remains.
“I’m an athletic guy, so just slowing down the game for me is important,” Prosvetov said. “Making those reads, and making the game more simple.” The last few week have been especially tough. In four of his Prosvetov's last nine appearances, he hasn’t played a full game. Twice, he was pulled early; the other two times, he stepped in in relief. Varady has pulled his goalie in three of the Roadrunners' last four games and in five of their last 11.
“It’s not anything really crazy,” he said. “Small little plays. Even line changes, or decisions with the puck.
