San Antonio Rampage News Release


STOCKTON, Calif. (Nov. 13, 2016) - The San Antonio Rampage (6-8-0-0) split a road series with the Stockton Heat (6-3-1-0), suffering their first shutout loss of the season in a 3-0 game Saturday night in Stockton Arena. The Rampage were 3-3-0-0 during the six-game West Coast road trip, and return to the AT&T Center Tuesday for a four-game home stand.

San Antonio's penalty-kill unit stopped all five of the Heat's opportunities with the man advantage, the fifth clean sheet for the Rampage this season. Stockton was converting on 23.3 percent of power-play opportunities as the league's sixth-ranked power-play unit heading into tonight's contest.

Stockton opened the scoring against San Antonio with a first-period goal from Jamie Devane at 14:12 in the stanza, and tacked on another goal in the second period on a netter from Tyler Wotherspoon at 7:45 into the frame.

San Antonio saw its best offensive opportunity early in the third when Captain Joe Whitney was granted a penalty shot after Heat defenders forced Whitney into a hard fall in front of David Rittich's cage on a breakaway goal attempt. Rittich smothered Whitney's penalty shot to protect Stockton's 2-0 lead.

The Heat fired a final shot into the net at the 16:18 mark when Daniel Pribyl nudged the puck across the line under the glove of Spencer Martin. The Rampage finish their West Coast trip 3-3-0-0 and are 6-3-0-0 on the road this season.
