LOVELAND, Colo. – For the second-straight night the Stockton Heat saw a 2-0 first-period lead disappear, but they were able to flip the script Saturday thanks to Dillon Dube’s strike 4:50 into the second, the first of three unanswered in a 6-2 road win at Colorado. 
Dube’s marker pushed the visiting team ahead after watching a two-goal edge that was built by first-period goals from Ryan Lomberg and Buddy Robinson disappear in the first four minutes of the second.
A nice passing sequence from Juuso Valimaki behind Stockton’s net to Spencer Foo the far blue line, who paused before yielding to Dube, who entered the zone with speed and crashed the net for a forehand-to-backhand move produced a 3-2 lead that Stockton did not relinquish.
The Heat claimed insurance markers from defenseman Adam Ollas Mattsson, his fifth of the season and third against the Eagles, late in the second, Tyler Graovac and Curtis Lazar in the third to punctuate the win.
Jon Gillies was strong in the contest, turning away 29 of 31 shots in Stockton’s first win after the All-Star Break.
