Abbotsford Heat News Release


OKLAHOMA CITY O.K. - Abbotsford native Brad Moran of the Oklahoma City Barons would score at 3:37 of overtime to rally the Barons past the Abbotsford Heat 2-1 in AHL action on Saturday night.

The Abbotsford Heat would get things started in Oklahoma City opening the scoring at 10:41 of the first period. Heat forward Lance Bouma would step in for an injured Stefan Meyer on the power play and his effort in front would pay off, as he would bang home a John Negrin rebound past Barons goaltender Martin Gerber. The power play goal would put the Heat up 1-0 over the Barons after the first period of play.

After a scoreless second period the Abbotsford Heat would retain their one goal lead going in to the final twenty minutes of play. Abbotsford would be forced to kill a huge third period 5 on 3 for 1:20 with goaltender Leland Irving standing on his head and making a couple key stops to preserve the Heat lead. Despite some unbelievable late play by Irving, O.K. City's Colten Teubert would find a way to get a shot past Irving partially deflecting the puck off Heat defender T.J. Brodie to tie the game at 1-1 with 17.1 seconds remaining, setting up Moran's heroics in the extra period.

The Abbotsford Heat will look to wrap up their five game road trip tomorrow Sunday, March 6th at 3:05pm PST with an afternoon matchup versus the Minnesota Wild's affiliate Houston Aeros. Be sure to catch all the action on Country 107.1 with Dave Sheldon getting pregame started fifteen minutes prior to puck drop at 2:50pm.
