AHL Post-Game: Turnovers sink Stockton’s season
Photo Credit: Perry Nelson / USA TODAY SportsThe Stockton Heat clawed back from a deficit in their first round series with the San Jose Barracuda to force a do-or-die Game 5. They proceeded to get wildly, wildly out-shot by the Barracuda. And their star goalie left the game after the first period, likely due to an injury.
Despite all of these obstacles, Stockton was full marks in a razor-thin 2-1 overtime loss to San Jose. They lost their Best of 5 series 3-2, but they put up a heck of a fight.
The Rundown
Nobody scored in the first period. Stockton was back on their heels for the most part, with David Rittich holding the fort. Shots were 15-9 Barracuda.
