HEAT STAY PERFECT AGAINST BAKERSFIELD WITH SHOOTOUT WIN

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. – Behind two-point nights from Justin Kirkland, Matthew Phillips and Connor Mackey and shootout strikes from Connor Zary and Juuso Valimaki, the Stockton Heat (28-8-3-1) earned a hard-fought, 4-3 win Saturday over the Bakersfield Condors (20-11-4-4) at Mechanics Bank Arena.

NOTABLE

With two points in the game, Matthew Phillips has set a career high for points in a season with his 38th and 39th of the campaign. Phillips’ previous best was 38 set in 65 games in his rookie season, 2018-19.
Luke Philp’s goal was his 40th AHL score.
Justin Kirkland now has five points in the last three games and has back-to-back multi-point efforts for the second time in Stockton’s last 10 tilts.
The Heat are now 4-0-0-0 on the year against Bakersfield and have won four of five games decided in a shootout.
Stockton is 6-7-1-1 on the year when conceding the first score but 2-0-0-0 against Bakersfield in such games.
