Roed, Firkus Each Score Twice as Firebirds Beat Reign 5-1

Lleyton Roed and Jagger Firkus each scored twice as the Coachella Valley Firebirds rolled to a 5-1 victory over the Ontario Reign at Toyota Arena in Ontario, CA. Roed finished with two goals and an assist while Firkus recorded his second multi-goal game of the night and his fourth multi-goal game of the season, a performance that helped end Coachella Valley’s three-game winless skid.

The Firebirds, the American Hockey League affiliate of the Seattle Kraken, used balanced scoring from Roed and Firkus to seize control. Details on goal times, the goalie of record, shots on goal and special teams were not included in the team release republished by OurSports Central, but the headline numbers make clear who shaped the outcome: Roed finished with a 2-1-3 line and Firkus supplied two tallies to fuel the offense.

This win arrives after a volatile stretch for Coachella Valley. The organization’s recent news slate shows both high points and quick turnarounds earlier in January, including a five-game win streak highlighted by Jack LaFontaine’s shutout and Rehkopf’s first pro hat trick. The Firebirds’ latest victory halts the recent slide and restores some momentum as the team approaches the second half of the AHL schedule.

Jagger Firkus continues to reinforce the All-Star-level reputation that earned him a roster spot for the 2026 AHL All-Star Classic. His fourth multi-goal game of the season underscores a consistent scoring touch that provides the Seattle Kraken organization with a promising middle-tier option in the development pipeline. Lleyton Roed’s two goals and assist add to Coachella Valley’s forward depth and demonstrate secondary scoring that can ease pressure on top prospects.

Beyond the box score, the result matters for fans and for the business of player development. Wins help drive ticket demand and local energy at Toyota Arena, and strong individual performances elevate player value within the Kraken system. The Firebirds’ recent headlines also reflect broader AHL trends: franchises boosting visibility through media partnerships and promoting young talent into the spotlight.

The Firebirds’ news release, republished by OurSports Central on Feb. 1, 2026, provided the game summary and acknowledged the snapped three-game winless streak. With Roed and Firkus delivering multi-goal nights, Coachella Valley can build on this result to stabilize its form. Next steps for reporters and fans include checking the full box score and goalie figures to round out the picture, but for now the Firebirds leave Ontario with a decisive 5-1 win and a clearer path forward.
