You know a winning streak is getting long when whoever writes that team’s game-day columns is running out of synonyms for “extend” and “consecutive.”
Speaking of which: the Stockton Heat will return to action on Saturday with the goal of, er, elongating their current eight-game streak of uninterrupted victories.
The Heat will finish up their four-game series against the Manitoba Moose, having taken each of the first three decisions by one goal. After collecting 6-5 and 3-2 overtime wins on Monday and Wednesday, Stockton eked out a 2-1 victory in regulation time on Thursday to continue its perfect record against Manitoba this season.
