While the big club struggles, the Heat keep rolling!

HEAT BLOW PAST BARRACUDA, 7-1

Behind two-goal efforts from Eetu Tuulola and Matthew Phillips, the Stockton Heat (40-12-4-1) overcame an early deficit by rattling off seven unanswered goals in a 7-1 victory over the visiting San Jose Barracuda (20-35-2-2) Saturday.

Jakob Pelletier pulled into a tie for Stockton’s all-time rookie scoring record with his 56th point of the season while Phillips matched the Heat high-mark for single-season goal scoring with his 26th and 27th markers of the campaign. With the win, Dustin Wolf became the fifth AHL goalie since 2000-01 to reach 30 victories in his rookie season.

NOTABLE

Tyrell Goulbourne made his Heat debut and earned his first point with Stockton, an assist.
Connor Zary’s power play goal in the first was his 10th marker of the season. He’s the ninth Heat skater to double-digit goals on the year, the second rookie on the club.
Eetu Tuulola’s shorthanded goal was his second of the year, pulling him into a six-way tie for the team lead. It was Stockton’s AHL-best 14th SHG of the season. He notched his first two-goal game of his career.
Matthew Phillips became the first player on the Flames’ AHL club to reach 60 points in a season since Max Reinhart (63) and Ben Street (60) of the Abbotsford Heat in 2013-14. He has tied the team record for goals in a season (27) alongside Mark Jankowski (2016-17), Hunter Shinkaruk (2015-16) and Derek Grant (2015-16).
