Both games are at 7 p.m.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Gulls are the AHL affiliate of the Anaheim Ducks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Roadrunners got back to .500 by beating the San Jose Sharks\u2019 top farm team 7-4 and 4-1 last weekend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last season, San Diego beat out Tucson for the Pacific Division\u2019s final playoff spot on a tiebreaker. Both sides finished with 78 points, so the Gulls made it in due to having more regulation wins.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tucson went 3-3-2-0 last year against San Diego but have lost four in a row to the Gulls and SD won the I-8 Border Trophy for the second time. The trophy dates back to 2016-17 and the other time the Roadrunners didn\u2019t win it was 2021-22.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rookie forward Vadim Moroz leads the Roadrunners in goals with three and has a three-game scoring streak. Forward Caleb Desnoyers scored in both contests in San Jose and forward Yegor Borikov has a point in three straight games.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/CU3A0037-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-245020\"  \/>Rookie forward Vadim Moroz (13) takes the puck towards the face-off circle against the Colorado Eagles on Oct. 4.
