TONIGHT
The Stockton Heat look to bounce back from Wednesday's 4-2 setback with a rematch against the Bakersfield Condors at Rabobank Arena. The Condors were able to take the front end of the two-game set behind a hat trick from Josh Currie and a 3-for-7 performance on the power play, while Stockton's Tyler Graovac and Alan Quine each notched two points in the midweek clash.
QUINE DOUBLES DOWN
Alan Quine enters Friday's game on a hot streak on the offensive end, having tallied 10 points (5g,5a) over Stockton's last five games. He started off the impressive run with back-to-back three-point nights, recording three assists on Jan. 5 then a hat trick on Jan. 9. He has since hit a goal and an assist in a game twice over the last three contests.
HOGSTROM MAKES DEBUT
Defenseman Marcus Hogstrom made his AHL debut on Wednesday, skating in a Heat sweater for the first time. The offseason signing had been rehabbing from an offseason injury and could provide a big boost to Stockton's blue line.
CLEAR EYES, FULL HEARTS
The Heat will look to continue their strong play under the Friday night lights, coming into tonight's game 6-4-1-0 on the year on Fridays, the best record for Stockton for any day of the week this year.
ON THE OFFENSIVE
The Heat have played back-to-back 'low scoring' games after a five-game home stand that saw Stockton and its opponents combine for 58 goals (27 for, 31 against) at Stockton Arena. Since closing out that span of games, the Heat played a 2-1 contest at San Jose on Sunday and a 4-2 game at Bakersfield. The lowest-scoring games (three tied) of Stockton's record-breaking home stand saw 11 goals scored.
FIRST GOAL'S FIRST
The first goal has proven to be a key for the Heat this season, with Stockton coming into tonight's game 8-3-2-0 on the year when scoring first and 8-11-1-0 when conceding first. The Heat have allowed opponents to take a 1-0 lead in nine consecutive games, going 3-6 in that span.
