Eagles Look to Bounce Back in Stockton
Dec 17, 2021
The Colorado Eagles will face off against the Stockton Heat in a pair of weekend games in California.
This will be the fourth time the two teams have met this season. Stockton took the first two matchups, winning 6-3 and 3-2 in overtime. The Eagles took the last meeting in a dominant 5-1 effort.
Sampo Ranta had two goals, while both Ryan Wagner and Justin Barron had multi-point nights with a goal and an assist each. Andreas Wingerli also found the back of the net, putting the nail in the coffin to the Eagles’ win.
Tonight the Eagles will look to rebound from a high-scoring loss in San Jose and find the groove they had when the team played Stockton last.
