SAN DIEGO, Calif. – Juuso Valimaki found the back of the net with just 13 seconds remaining in regulation to give Stockton a 2-1 victory Saturday night over the San Diego Gulls at Pechanga Arena. 
Valimaki’s tally finished off a third-period comeback, Stockton scoring the final two games after the Gulls took a 1-0 lead early in the final frame that held until Spencer Foo’s marker with 11:39 remaining.
Jon Gillies was brilliant once again between the pipes for Stockton, turning away 34 of 35 shots faced in his 14th-straight start, keeping the Heat deadlocked with San Diego at 0-0 through 40 minutes of play and conceding the lone goal to Adam Cracknell at 2:01 of the third.
With the win, Stockton takes the season series from San Diego by a 5-3 count, finishing the year 4-0 at Pechanga Arena.
