Tucson forward Mike Carcone made team history on Friday when he recorded a pair of assists to set a new Roadrunners single-season scoring record at 68 points. Carcone is currently tied with Ontario Reign forward and back-to-back AHL Most Valuable Player TJ Tynan for the league lead in scoring with seven less games played than Tynan. Through three meetings with Milwaukee, the 26-year-old has amassed three goals and five assists for eight total points to lead the season series. With 26 points and 42 assists for 68 total points, Carcone is on pace to become the fourth to average a point per-game with at least 45 games played in a season, joining forwards Matias Maccelli (21-22), Brayden Burke (19-20) and Dylan Strome (17-18). With his two-point performance on Friday, Carcone has recorded 134 total points (65g 69a) in 133 career appearances with the Roadrunners since joining the organization prior to the 2020-2021 campaign.
