Few things have been more certain than the Stockton Heat finding success at home, as of late. They continued discovering it Saturday night, winning their seventh-straight at Stockton Arena in a 4-2 victory over the Bakersfield Condors.
In his AHL All-Star Classic sendoff, Derek Grant was, once again, the focal point of the Stockton attack. The centre was the first to solve Condors goaltender Eetu Laurikainen to make it 1-0 midway through in the first period before notching his 21st goal of the season via a chip shot over the netminder’s blocker late in the second period to push Stockton’s lead to 3-1.
