Playing in their third shootout of the young AHL season, the Stockton Heat exacted revenge against their geographic rival, the San Jose Barracuda, defeating the visiting Sharks affiliate 4-3 Saturday night.
With minutes dwindling in the third period, the most-heralded prospect on the ice, right winger Emile Poirier, sent a one-timer in from the slot off a pass from Derek Grant to thrust the game into overtime.It was the first goal of the season for Poirier.
"[Derek Grant] made a really good pass to me and I was all alone in front," Poirier said.
