Jakob Pelletier and Matthew Phillips each notched multi-point efforts as the Stockton Heat (35-11-4-1) fell on the road to the Colorado Eagles (30-17-4-3) by a 4-3 final score at the Budweiser Events Center. The Heat took the lead in the first with Pelletier notching his team-leading 23rd goal of the season, and Luke Philp added on to the advantage with his marker 8:11 into the second.

The Heat became the first team to punch their postseason ticket in the AHL this season with Saturday’s win.

Did a shallow dive into AHL stats. From a points and age perspective, Pelletier is similar to Batherson. I find that positive.

[Reggie Dunlop]

Pelletier, I thought, might have taken longer to adjust but he's burning up the A as a rookie. I think he's with the main roster come next season.

[Cheese]

The Heat are in San Jose tonight and return home to Stockton Arena for Latin Celebration Night on Friday, March 25 a 6 p.m. puck drop.

[EVERLAST]

Pelletier reminds me of Mangiapane a little bit.
He knows where to be all the time, with or without the puck. He has a non stop motor and is a little feisty.....sound familiar?
Excited to watch this kid for many years to come.

In also disappointing news, the Heat can’t seem to get another one past the Sharks ahl team. They’re doubling up in shots but tied 1-1 going into the third. Phillips with the goal and Wolf in net.

[Reggie Dunlop]

Heat win 3-1

[Roof-Daddy]

Hard to believe the Flames have the top team in the AHL

HEAT SET CLUB SINGLE-SEASON POINTS RECORD WITH TUESDAY WIN

Matthew Phillips pulled into a tie for Stockton’s single-season scoring record and Justin Kirkland netted his first game-winner of the season as the Stockton Heat (37-11-4-1) earned a 3-1 win over the San Jose Barracuda (20-30-2-2) Tuesday night at the SAP Center. With the win, the Heat have set a club record with 79 standings points on the year.
Brinson Pasichnuk scored 1:32 into the contest, lighting the lamp on the second shot of the game for San Jose to take the early lead. The Heat put the clamps down from there, holding the Barracuda scoreless on four trips to the man-advantage, including a pivotal kill late in the game, and Dustin Wolf stopped the final 24 shots he saw in the win.


NOTABLE

• Matthew Phillips’ goal was his 57th point on the year, tying him with Kenny Agostino’s 57-point output in 2015-16 for Stockton’s single-season scoring record. Phillips has appeared in 15 fewer games thus far than Agostino totaled in the 15-16 campaign.
• Justin Kirkland’s goal, his 15th of the season, was his first game-winner of the campaign and first since December 15, 2019, also against San Jose. Three of his four GWGs as a member of the Heat have come at the expense of the Barracuda.
• Kevin Gravel has goals in consecutive games after having one all season prior to Saturday’s tilt.
• Dustin Wolf’s three assists are the most for a Heat goalie in a single season.

SPECIAL TEAMS
STK PP – 0-for-3
STK PK – 4-for-4


THREE STARS
First – Zachary Sawchenko (40 svs)
Second – Justin Kirkland (1g)
Third – Brinson Pasichnuk (1g)


GOALIES
W – Dustin Wolf (25 saves on 26 shots faced)
L – Zachary Sawchenko (40 saves on 42 shots faced)

I thought this said 3 assists in a game, so had to look it up and in 1993, Jeff Reese got 3 assists in an NHL game, the only time a goalie has ever done so (couldn't find an AHL record): https://www.quanthockey.com/nhl/reco...l-goalies.html
