Stockton Heat News Release
STOCKTON, Calif. - Byron Froese and Glenn Gawdin each posted their first career hat tricks while Matthew Phillips and Jakob Pelletier each turned in three-point nights as the Stockton Heat (14-2-2-0) overpowered the San Jose Barracuda (6-10-1-0) with a 10-1 win Tuesday at Stockton Arena.
Fourteen skaters registered a point for Stockton in the win as the Heat set a club record for goals in a game.
Stockton jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first, with a goal from Phillips and two from Gawdin, the first two coming in a span of just 14 seconds as the home team built some separation. The lead then grew to 7-0 through two periods, Froese netting a pair in the period in addition to Eetu Tuulola and Phillips' scores.
The Heat then finished off the dominant effort with three more tallies in the final frame, Connor Zary lighting the lamp 4:14 into the action followed by Froese and Gawdin, with a Barracuda goal from Montana Onyebuchi mixed in.
Dustin Wolf made 24 saves on 25 shots faced in the game, and the Heat won the special teams battle with three goals on the man-advantage to go with a 3-for-3 night from the penalty kill.
