Roadrunners assign five players to Allen Americans
Tucson sends forwards Sam Lipkin, Miko Matikka and Noel Nordh, defenceman Terrell Goldsmith and goaltender Jesper Vikman to Allen.
The Tucson Roadrunners sent five players to the ECHL's Allen Americans on Thursday, Oct. 8, the AHL club announced. The group includes forwards Sam Lipkin, Miko Matikka and Noel Nordh, defenceman Terrell Goldsmith and goaltender Jesper Vikman.
The Roadrunners have played twice this season, and none of the five appeared in either game. Tucson is the AHL affiliate of the Utah Mammoth.
Lipkin, Matikka and Nordh have each spent parts of the previous two or three seasons with Tucson. All three forwards were drafted by the Arizona Coyotes. Matikka also played for Allen during the 2024-25 season.
Goldsmith appeared in three games for Tucson last season. Vikman's previous AHL experience came with the Henderson Silver Knights; Vegas selected the goaltender in the fifth round of the 2020 NHL Draft.
Tucson's next games are a road series against the San Jose Barracuda at Tech CU Arena on Friday and Saturday.
