After remaining inactive for an entire week, the Stockton Heat will return to action on Feb. 19 when they take on the Bakersfield Condors at Mechanics Bank Arena.
It remains to be seen whether Glenn Gawdin will return to the Heat lineup on Saturday. The 24-year-old centre missed Stockton’s 6–5 shootout win over the Ontario Reign on Feb. 12 while in concussion protocol.
We do know that Bakersfield forward (and veteran of 530 NHL games) Colton Sceviour will not participate in Saturday’s contest. Sceviour was recalled by the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday after being assessed a two-game AHL suspension for throwing this hit on Abbotsford Canucks defenceman Jack Rathbone (which resulted in Rathbone being carried off the ice on a stretcher):
Oh FFS… Jack Rathbone just got absolutely crushed into the endboards and is still down on the ice#AbbyCanucks #Canucks pic.
