The Stockton Heat will look to prevent the Colorado Eagles from clinching a playoff spot when they meet up at Stockton Arena on Wednesday evening at 7:30 p.m. MT.
The Eagles can become the third Pacific Division team to lock up their playoff berth with one point against the Heat on Wednesday. Colorado (32–19–7) currently ranks third in the Pacific with a .612 points percentage; Stockton (39–11–5) remains first in the entire AHL at .755.
Coincidentally, the Heat clinched their own playoff berth against these very same Eagles back on March 19. Matthew Phillips, Jakob Pelletier, and Connor Zary each scored twice in the 10–3 win, which also helped the Heat improve to 5–2–0 against the Eagles in 2021–22.
