On Thursday evening, the Stockton Heat will take on the Manitoba Moose—this time, with the goal of becoming « les Stockton Huit. »
Stockton will look to extend its winning streak to huit—er, eight—games in Thursday’s contest, which will serve as the second part of a back-to-back for both teams and the third of four consecutive meetings between the Moose and Heat.
Thursday’s match-up will represent the first time this season the Heat will have gone without Connor Zary. The Flames have assigned their 2020 first round pick to the Kamloops Blazers, allowing him to complete the quarantine process and join the team before its season-opener on Mar.
