HEAT INDEX
The Stockton Heat aim to keep building on a three-game point streak, entering the start of a Friday-Saturday home-and-home against the San Jose Barracuda on the heels of a 5-2 win over San Diego Wednesday at Stockton Arena. Stockton will look to make it 3-for-3 at the SAP Center on the season, entering tonight's game with a pair of 4-1 wins in San Jose.
NO CAP
Jakob Pelletier notched his first career hat trick on Wednesday, lighting the lamp three times in Stockton's 5-2 win over San Diego at Stockton Arena. It was the fourth time in Heat history that a rookie brought the lids, joining Mark Jankowski on January 20, 2017, Spencer Foo on December 6, 2017 and Brett Pollock on January 26, 2018. It was Stockton's fifth hat trick of the season.
MACK ATTACK
With a two-assist effort on Wednesday, Connor Mackey now has 29 points on the year with five goals and 24 helpers in 45 games. With his next point he'll join an exclusive list of Heat blue-liners to reach the 30-point mark in a campaign, a trio in the 2017-18 season of Rasmus Andersson (9g, 30a - 56 GP), Tyler Wotherspoon (7g, 30a - 67 GP) and Oliver Kylington (7g, 28a - 62 GP).
WALK IT OUT
Walker Duehr has goals in back-to-back games for the second time in his career, last finding the back of the net in consecutive contests on October 16 and 22 against Tucson and San Diego, respectively. Stockton is 6-0-0-0 when Duehr scores this season, and the winger enters tonight's game with two points and one goal in four meetings with the Barracuda.
STARTS WITH ONE
The team that has scored first has won all five games in the season series between Stockton and San Jose, with the team conceding first earning only one of a possible 10 points on the year. Stockton is an impressive 25-1-3-0 on the year when breaking the ice while the Barracuda are 12-8-1-0 in such games.
NO WAY, JOSE
The Heat look to continue their strong play in the season series with the Barracuda, bringing a 4-1-0-0 record into the game while outscoring San Jose 22-10. Stockton has won both contests at the SAP Center by a 4-1 final and has dominated the special teams battle overall, keeping the Barracuda scoreless on 14 power plays while finding the back of net in six of 19 trips to the man-advantage (31.6-percent).
