Miner’s First Pro Shutout Leads Colorado to 1-0 Win over Roadrunners
Feb 27, 2021
LOVELAND, CO. – Colorado Eagles goaltender Trent Miner turned aside all 20 shots he faced to collect his first professional shutout and help propel Colorado to a 1-0 victory over the Tucson Roadrunners on Saturday. Forward Mike Vecchione’s first goal as an Eagle would prove to be the game-winner, as Colorado claimed five of a possible six points in the three-game series against the Roadrunners. Miner also notched his first professional point with an assist on the Vecchione marker.
Vecchione would stake the Eagles the early lead when he drove the net and slammed a rebound past Tucson goalie Connor LaCouvee to give Colorado a 1-0 edge just 5:54 into the contest. Each team would earn one opportunity on the power play in the first period, but neither side would be able to produce a goal and the Eagles and Roadrunners would head to the first intermission with Colorado enjoying a 1-0 advantage.
