The Stockton Heat hosted the Henderson Silver Knights for their first match-up in team history on Friday night. This kicked off the first of two between these teams in just as many nights. It was a hard-fought game and hit the nailbiter stage on many occasions, especially in the final minutes of overtime. However, it was ultimately the Heat that came up victorious in the shootout.
Another record broken
After hitting the ninth straight win milestone in this stretch of games, the Heat have officially broken the winning-streak record for the franchise. This was previously held by most of the current roster as it was most recently broken last season’s trip to the Canadian Division when they won eight straight.
