The Stockton Heat added another competitor to the Calder Cup playoff bracket on Wednesday night when they fell to the Colorado Eagles by a score of 2-1. The last time these two played, the Heat won 10-3 and clinched the first playoff berth in the AHL this season. They thought they’d return the favour by getting the Eagles past their magic number of one and clinch as well.
In all seriousness, it was a close game that relied on goaltending and timely scoring and ultimately, the Heat were not the ones to get it done in their mid-week match-up.
