The Stockton Heat have now lost 14 of their last 16 games, falling most recently by a 5-2 score against the Manitoba Moose on Thursday evening.
Heat goaltender Tyler Parsons returned to game action after missing the last 13 months for a combination of pandemic- and injury-related reasons. Parsons allowed five goals on 25 shots in the game, four of which came within 2:02 of the start of a period.
Johnathan Kovacevik, Jeff Malott, David Gustafsson, Cole Perfetti, and Kristian Reichel all solved Parsons in the win, which saw the Moose improve to 12-11-2 on the season.
