Heat Hand San Jose Their First Regulation Loss 3-2
October 21, 2018 - American Hockey League (AHL)
Stockton Heat News Release
SAN JOSE, CALIF. - Tyler Graovac and Andrew Mangiapane's multi-point efforts, coupled by Spencer Foo's power-play goal in the second and Tyler Parsons makes 26 saves as the Heat hand San Jose their first regulation loss of the season by a 3-2 final. Despite a slow start due to an early penalty, the Heat broke through first off a faceoff draw just past the midway point of the first when Oliver Kylington found Mangiapane for the wrister over the glove of San Jose goalie Antoine Bibeau. The Heat scored just moments later with the same line as Mangiapane and Buddy Robinson's forecheck behind the net resulted in a nifty, no-look pass from the left corner to the hands of Tyler Graovac in the slot who one-timed it in for the 2-0 lead. The Heat extended that lead in the second with Spencer Foo wiring a shot past Bibeau on the two-man-advantage to take a 3-0 lead. However, Maxim Letunov slipped behind the defense and broke the San Jose deadlock on the breakaway, which turned the momentum and led to the Barracuda pulling within one after 40 minutes of play. In the third, the Heat were able to play steady in front of Parsons, who stopped 26 of 28 shots for his first win since a February 3 game, also at the SAP Center, last season. Stockton now heads down to SoCal to take on the San Diego Gulls for the first time this season at the Valley View Casino Center on Friday at 7:00 p.m. and then to Bakersfield to take on the Condors at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday.
