Welcome to the 2020-21 Stockton Heat season!
The Heat (0-0-0) are the final American Hockey League team to get their season underway, opening their schedule today at 2:00 p.m. MT against the Toronto Marlies (2-2-0).
Lineups remain to be announced but Connor Zary, Dmitry Zavgorodniy, Emilio Pettersen, and Colton Poolman, among others, all look set to make their AHL debuts on Sunday.
This season marks the first time the Flames’ AHL affiliate has also played out of Calgary.
The visiting Marlies are on a two-game losing streak, having lost both of their previous two contests to the Manitoba Moose after opening their season with consecutive wins in Winnipeg.
