After a six-game road trip that saw Stockton go 3-2-0-1, with points in the final four games, the Heat returned for their lone December home game against the first place Tucson Roadrunners.
It was Mark Jankowski Bobble Head night, where he sent a video message saying he wished he could be there… yeah right. It was also “Win the Jersey Off the Player’s Back” night. More on that later.
The lineup was based on the first few shifts, as Coach Ryan Huska constantly changed the forwards throughout the game. The only constant was the defense and Jon Gillies in goal.
