HGD 38: First-place Heat host second-place Reign (8pm MT)
The Stockton Heat will take to the ice for the first time in a week on Friday when they play host to the Ontario Reign for the first game of a back-to-back set at Stockton Arena.
Friday’s game will be the first meeting between these two teams since Stockton’s “Thunder Night” back on Jan. 29. Matthew Phillips scored the winning goal on a night where Heat defenseman Juuso Valimaki was ejected for physical abuse of officials (and assessed an automatic three-game suspension). Valimaki will serve the final game of his ban on Friday.
