The Stockton Heat put out the unwelcome mat last night as the defending Calder Cup champs, the Grand Rapids Griffins, made their only visit to California’s Central Valley this year.
There were a few lineup changes, as Marek Hrivik and Adam Ollas-Mattsson made their debuts, while Brett Findlay and Josh Healey were treated to some free popcorn. Also, David Rittich got his first start of the year.
Rittich led the way with a 36-save shutout, and all four lines produced at least one point, as the Heat blanked the Griffins 4-0.
Lines were as follows:
| Mangiapane | Jankowski | Hathaway |
| Klimchuk | Hrivik | Foo |
| Shinkaruk | Lomberg | Gazdic |
| Cramarossa | Pelley | Poirier |
| Wotherspoon | Andersson | |
| Kylington | Goloubef | |
| Ollas-Mattsson | Robak | |
| Rittich |
