Stockton Heat 21/22 General Discussion

[Reggie Dunlop]

Only a handful of games (3 I think) left for KC. They're not going to the playoffs.

He's been "not bad" on a bad team. He has been relegated to a backup role the last while.

Chechelev is still looking for a ELC. Perhaps this promotion portends better fortunes.

[getbak]

Just like the big club last night, the Heat come back from a 3-1 deficit to win.




4-3 in OT over Henderson.

[getbak]

Magic number to clinch the Pacific is down to 6 points.

HEAT RALLY FOR OT WIN WEDNESDAY AT HENDERSON


Despite trailing by a pair of scores midway through the third period, the Stockton Heat (43-12-4-2) rallied with three unanswered goals to prevail with a 4-3 overtime victory over the Henderson Silver Knights (29-28-4-1) Wednesday at the Dollar Loan Center. With an assist in the game, Jakob Pelletier took sole possession of Stockton’s single-season rookie scoring record, his 57th point of the year.



NOTABLE

• Matthew Phillips became the first Flames farmhand since the 2011-12 season to surpass the 28-goal mark in a season.
• Stockton is now 9-1-0-0 on the year when Emilio Pettersen scores a goal and 12-1-0-0 when Eetu Tuulola lights the lamp.
• Tuulola’s goal gives him a career-best 24 points (14g,10a) on the year.

What a season by Pelletier. Takes the rookie scoring title away from the legendary Mark Jankowski. From the game recap on the Stockton website:

the stockton heat announce today the signing of defenseman jack mcneely to an amateur tryout (ato).

Mcneely, 25, joins the heat out of minnesota state-mankato, where he helped the mavericks reach the ncaa’s national championship game this season. The right-shot blue-liner finished third among defensemen on the club with 17 points (2g,15a) in 44 games, wore the ‘a’ as an alternate captain and was named to the frozen four all-tournament team.

In his five-year collegiate career, the 6-foot-3, 194-pound lakeville, minnesota native helped the mavericks to four conference regular season championships and two frozen four appearances. He totaled 52 points (8g,44a), 70 penalty minutes and was a plus-103 in 174 ncaa contests.

HEAT GO BUST FRIDAY IN HENDERSON

Jakob Pelletier matched the club record for most goals by a rookie with his 27th marker of the campaign and Justin Kirkland potted Stockton’s league-leading 15th shorthanded goal of the season but the Heat (43-13-4-2) dropped Friday’s contest by a 4-2 final score against the Henderson Silver Knights (30-28-4-1) at the Dollar Loan Center. Pelletier’s score opened the scoring with 3:58 to go in the opening frame, a power play strike assisted by Matthew Phillips and Byron Froese. Henderson answered 1:32 later, Gage Quinney pulling the Silver Knights even before the end of the opening frame.


NOTABLE

• Jakob Pelletier’s power play goal was his 27th score of the season, matching Mark Jankowski for most goals by a Heat rookie. It was Pelletier’s team-leading ninth power play goal of the season.
• With an assist on Pelletier’s score, Matthew Phillips is now five assists shy of the team record for helpers in a season with 35.
• Justin Kirkland scored Stockton’s league-leading 15th shorthanded goal of the season. It was his second, pulling him into a seven-way tie atop Stockton’s roster.
• The Heat are now 0-for-3 looking for consecutive wins against the Silver Knights.
• Stockton is now 30-4-3-1 on the year when scoring the first goal.

HEAT DROP WEEKEND FINALE AT HENDERSON, 4-1


Justin Kirkland scored for the second consecutive game and Byron Froese extended his point streak to seven contests but the Stockton Heat (43-14-4-2) dropped the final regular season meeting against the Henderson Silver Knights (31-28-4-1) by a 4-1 count Saturday at the Dollar Loan Center.


NOTABLE

• Justin Kirkland scored for the second consecutive game and the fourth game out of the last six. He has seven goals and 11 points in the last 10 games.
• Byron Froese extended his point streak to seven games with an assist on Kirkland’s goal. The captain now has two goals and six assists in the scoring stretch.
• Stockton has lost consecutive games for only the third time all year. They’ve gone back-to-back games without registering a point in the standings for just the second time this season.

SPECIAL TEAMS
STK PP – 0-for-5
STK PK – 5-for-5
THREE STARS
First – Brendan Brisson (1g,2a)

UP NEXT
The Heat return home for two games next week, Wednesday at 6:30 against the Tucson Roadrunners and Friday, Fan Appreciation Night, against the Abbotsford Canucks at 7 p.m.

[Reggie Dunlop]

Heat defeat Tucson 3-1 as Dustin Wolf makes a season-best 42 saves in the win.

Justin Kirkland with a pair (Welinski, Phillips) and (Froese, Gawdin).

Connor Zary (Duehr, Pettersen) with a goal.

[Reggie Dunlop]

At some point, do Dustin Wolf and/or Jakob Pelletier warrant AHL Rookie of the Year consideration?

(Tyler Toffoli and Darryl Sutter both past winners).

[Savvy27]

Yeah, you've got to think they are in the mix.

Peterka has 24-39-63 in 66 games.
Pelletier has 27-31-58 in 62.
Quinn has 25-32-57 in 41games which is pretty impressive.

Pelletier is the only plus player and he's +21. So he's second in total rookie points and first in plus/minus for rookies (16th in the league). I'd say he has a solid case from what I can tell.

Wolf is even stronger. Leads the league in wins. Tied for 6th in GAA (2.33). 3rd in save percentage. And that is league-wide. He is clearly first in each category among rookies.

Awesome season for both, but my vote would be Wolf.

[TheScorpion]

Wolf will almost certainly win it. He might win AHL MVP.

[agulati]

How has Pettersen looked this year? His production seems to have gone up a bit lately.

[Mindtravellee]

Chechelev is in net today for stockton

[TheScorpion]

Phillips hits 30!

[Reggie Dunlop]

Don't know much about Chechelev's playing style, but judging by the streaming audio broadcast tonight he likes to play the puck a lot.

Could've had an assist on the Phillips goal.
