The Stockton Heat have finally done it! The Heat have finally defeated the Laval Rocket after six fruitless tries, improving to 1-5-1 against their Québécois rivals this season.
Tuesday’s game was Stockton’s final chance to defeat Laval this regular season. The Heat entered the game having defeated each of their three other Canadian Division rivals at least twice; however, they had taken regulation losses in five-straight contests against Laval, having earned a singular point in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Rocket on Mar. 18.
Stockton allowed the first goal of Tuesday’s contest but rebounded with three unanswered markers, finally proving their complete capability of dispatching all four of their Canadian opponents.
