Tyler Parks has taken advantage of a chance to become the Roadrunners' No. 1 goalie — even when he isn't feeling his best physically.
James Kelley Arizona Daily Star After seven years in professional hockey, playing for 11 teams in four different countries, Tucson Roadrunners goalie Tyler Parks wasn’t going to turn down a chance to start another AHL game.
Parks responded with 19 saves on 21 shots in regulation, stopped 4-of-4 in overtime and turned away two more in the shootout in Tucson’s 3-2 win over the Wranglers — a victory that kept the Roadrunners ahead of the San Jose Barracuda for the last playoff spot in the Pacific Division with 12 games to play.
The Roadrunners look to carry over that momentum when they host Ontario on Tuesday night to start a two-game series. “He was amped, absolutely. He was pumped,” Potvin said. “This is the No. 1 team in the league, so obviously this is huge for him; it’s huge for our team. Prosvetov's extended call-up has opened the door for his close friend Parks to ascend into that No. 1 position with the Roadrunners.
