ABBOTSFORD, B.C. – A Dustin Wolf shutout bid was snapped in the final three minutes of play, but behind a 36-save effort from the rookie netminder and goals from Jakob Pelletier and Matthew Phillips, the Stockton Heat (26-7-3-1) earned a 2-1 win over the Abbotsford Canucks (15-15-3-1) Friday at the Abbotsford Centre.
With the win, the Heat improved to 4-0-0-0 on the year against the Canucks as Stockton earned its first road sweep of the season.
Pelletier and Phillips each scored in the opening frame, with the rookie putting the Heat on the board at the halfway point of the opening frame and Phillips adding onto the lead late, lighting the lamp with 1:24 to go in the first period.
The 2-0 edge lasted until Sheldon Rempal put a puck past Wolf on Abbotsford’s seventh power play opportunity of the game, putting an end to the shutout bid.
The victory extends Stockton’s point streak to five games, with the Heat earning four wins in that span.
