Kylington Hat Trick Fuels Heat Comeback Attempt in Tucson
November 9, 2019 - American Hockey League (AHL)
Stockton Heat News Release
TUCSON, Ariz. - Oliver Kylington recorded a hat trick to spearhead Stockton's furious rally from a 5-1 deficit, a comeback effort that fell just short in a 7-6 setback Saturday night in Tucson. The Heat, who trailed 3-0 after 20 minutes, got multi-point efforts from Kylington, Buddy Robinson (3a), and Glenn Gawdin (1g,2a) as Stockton clawed back within a goal late in the second before the clubs traded scores the rest of the way. Stockton's power play was dominant on the night, going 4-for-7, but the early deficit proved too much to overcome. Tucson was able to capitalize on multi-goal efforts from Michael Chaput and Andy Miele, each recording a pair of goals. The loss was the first in regulation for Stockton on the road this season and snapped a seven-game point streak.
