Heat Hot Streak Cooled Friday by Colorado
November 29, 2019 - American Hockey League (AHL)
Stockton Heat News Release
LOVELAND, Colo. - Stockton's four-game win streak came to an end on Friday as the Colorado Eagles jumped out to a 4-0 lead before a late push from the Heat produced a 5-2 final score at the Budweiser Events Center. The Eagles put two on the board in each of the opening two periods before Matthew Phillips got Stockton on the score sheet 11:06 into the final frame, good for his 20th point of the season. A rigid Colorado defensive effort held the AHL's top scoring attack at bay, limiting the visitors to 25 shots on goal while keeping the Heat at arms' length with Ryan Lomberg breaking through with just 54 seconds remaining to trim the deficit to two before Jayson Megna's empty-netter sealed the deal at the final horn. The Heat, who have scored a power play goal in five-straight games, will close out their season-long, five-game road trip with a rematch against the Eagles Saturday night.
