Despite losing Adam Ruzicka to a National Hockey League recall, the Stockton Heat received some reinforcements for their game against the Colorado Eagles on Nov. 26.
Walker Duehr returned to the Heat lineup after spending nearly three weeks in the NHL. Martin Pospisil played his first game since suffering an injury against the Abbotsford Canucks on Nov. 5. Both Duehr and Pospisil picked up a single primary assist in Stockton’s 3–2 overtime victory over the Eagles on Friday.
Byron Froese and Glenn Gawdin scored in regulation for the Heat on Friday before Jakob Pelletier netted the winner in extra time.
