Heat Earn Point in Saturday Battle
November 3, 2019 - American Hockey League (AHL)
Stockton Heat News Release
STOCKTON, Calif. - The Stockton Heat battled to another overtime contest on home ice on Saturday, ultimately falling by a 4-3 final to the Tucson Roadrunners on Stick It to Cancer Night. It was a back-and-forth affair with the Roadrunners never trailing but never being able to pull too far ahead, Stockton pulling even at 1-1, 2-2 and 3-3 with goals from Buddy Robinson, Byron Froese and Adam Ruzicka's first as a pro. The Heat appeared to pull ahead in the final minute as Glenn Gawdin muscled a puck into the back of the net, but the score was waved off to goalie interference. Tucson's Brayden Burke then potted the game-winning power play goal just 25 seconds into overtime. The contest pushes Stockton's point streak to six games as they prepare to hit the road for two games next weekend against the Roadrunners.
