STOCKTON, Calif. – Byron Froese notched a pair of goals and Jakob Pelletier netted the game-winner with just 2:44 remaining in regulation as the Stockton Heat (23-7-2-1) outlasted the Henderson Silver Knights (16-11-2-1) by a 3-1 final score Friday at Stockton Arena.
With the win, the Heat improved to 10-0-0-0 on the season following losses.
Froese got the scoring started in the second period, finding the back of the net with 2:01 remaining after collecting a loose puck in front on the man-advantage.
The Silver Knights knotted the score early in the third, Jacob Leschyshyn ending Dustin Wolf’s shutout bid 2:01 into the final frame with a score that forced a deadlock late into the final period. Pelletier broke that tie, firing a wrister past Jiri Patera in the closing minutes for the upper hand, with Froese slamming the door with an empty netter.
