Gawdin Scores, Parsons Strong as Heat Earn Point
STOCKTON, Calif. – Glenn Gawdin found the back of the net for the second-straight game and Tyler Parsons was strong once again between the pipes to help the Stockton Heat earn a point in a 2-1 shootout loss Monday against Colorado. For Gawdin, he now has two goals and four points in this recent two-games-in-three-day stretch while Parsons made 30 of 31 saves in the game for his second-straight strong performance. Alan Quine extended his scoring streak to four games with a helper on Quine’s tally, but the Heat were largely unable to solve Colorado netminder Spencer Martin, who made 34 saves in the contest. The Eagles’ A.J. Greer came through twice for the visiting team, lighting the lamp in the first period then coming through with the decisive shootout goal.
