Heat lose 2-1 in the SO
Lone goal was Shinkaruk from Nowick and Klimchuk.
Gillies made 28 saves on 29 shots.
No goals in the SO for Stockton on 2 attempts.
Will be interesting to see how long Treliving and Pascal allow Stockton to keep this horrendous center depth. All due respect to Nowick and McMurtry, but I doubt they are long term solutions. Lomberg, Cramarossa, Pollock, and Pelley all capable of playing C but shouldn't be counted on in scoring roles. Pribyl could have helped but sounds like he is out for the whole season.
If Hrivik stays up long term, the team is in trouble with Findlay as their top offensive C. They really needed F. Hamilton for some depth.
Might have to try and wait out Arizona and see if they can reclaim Freddie or find someone else via trade.
