Today, for the first time this season, the Stockton Heat will play on a Tuesday.
Technically, Tuesday’s game against the San Jose Barracuda already should’ve happened. It was originally supposed to take place on Sunday, Oct. 31, but a massive COVID outbreak in the San Jose organization caused the game to be postponed and later rescheduled to Dec. 7.
American Hockey League teams primarily play on weekends, with the odd Wednesday game sprinkled in. This season, the Heat are scheduled to play 22 games on Fridays, 20 on Saturdays, eight on Sundays, 14 on Wednesdays, twice on Tuesdays, and one each on a Monday and Thursday.
