Stockton's Offense Silenced in Manitoba
April 6, 2019 - American Hockey League (AHL)
Stockton Heat News Release
Winnipeg, Manitoba. - Stockton's offense stalled in Winnipeg on Saturday afternoon as the Moose ended Stockton's four-game win streak. Mason Appleton opened the scoring for the Jets' top affiliate just 3:09 into the game. That 14th goal of the year for Appleton is all the Moose would need in the 1-0 final. Stockton's four minor penalties in the first frame limited their offensive looks in the opening period. The Heat killed off all four power play chances against, but Stockton was unable to capitalize on their four chances on the man advantage. Jon Gillies was strong in the loss, stopping 30 of 31 shots. Mikhail Berdin stopped all 26 shots en route to his second career AHL shutout. With the victory, Manitoba climbs back into a playoff spot.
