Heat Points Streak Ends After Setback in Winnipeg
March 21, 2016 - American Hockey League (AHL)
Stockton Heat News Release
Winnipeg, MB, CAN - The Stockton Heat hit the ice at the MTS Centre for the first time this season carrying with them a four-game points streak, but cannot extend the streak, as the Heat fall to the Manitoba Moose 3-0 Monday night in Winnipeg. Stockton had their chances early on in the game, but could not solve Moose goaltender Connor Hellebuyck and drop to 1-1-0-0 on their season-long five-game road trip. The Stockton Heat will take a day to recuperate before facing off against the very same Manitoba Moose on Wednesday night at the MTS Centre.

QUOTES
"It was not a very good night. That was not out team that showed up tonight. It was unfortunate and there's no excuse. I think some nights things go that way and this was one for us. We have to move on, have a good practice tomorrow and get ourselves ready for Wednesday." - Head Coach Ryan Huska on his team's performance tonight.
"We have to play our game and that's not what we saw tonight. We have to make sure we're focused on the way we play Heat hockey. We have to be harder to the net and more direct with our play and we have to have more energy." - Coach Huska on the focus moving into Wednesday's rematch.
