Gillies Leads Effort in Pushing Point Streak to Seven Games
November 9, 2019 - American Hockey League (AHL)
Stockton Heat News Release
TUCSON, Ariz. - Jon Gillies ran up 37 saves and made another seven stops in a shootout, helping the Heat push their point streak to seven games in a 3-2 Friday night shootout loss at Tucson. Though not emerging with two points for the first road game this season, the Heat got a fast start on the night with a first-period strike from Dillon Dube before doubling their lead in the second with Glenn Gawdin's third marker of the season. A furious rally from the home side, which included a 15-7 advantage in shots on goal for the final frame, saw the Roadrunners beat Gillies twice in the third period to force the game to overtime and eventually a nine-round shootout. The contest was the first this season in which the Heat did not record a special teams goal.
