The Stockton Heat can clinch their second playoff berth in club history with a win over the Bakersfield Condors (and a little bit of outside help) on Wednesday evening.
One hour after the Heat drop the puck with the Condors at Stockton Arena, the Tucson Roadrunners will play host to the San Jose Barracuda. The Heat will clinch if they pick up at least one more point than Tucson in Wednesday’s action.
If Stockton beats Bakersfield and Tucson loses in any fashion, the Heat are in. Even if the Heat lose in overtime or a shootout, they can still clinch if the Roadrunners come away with zero points against San Jose.
