<p>The Stockton Heat will put their three-game winning streak on the line in Canada on Friday when they take on the Abbotsford Canucks at 8:00 p.m. MT.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Coming off a two-game sweep of the Bakersfield Condors last weekend, the Heat will look to extend their perfect record against the Canucks this season to 5–0–0.</p>
<p>The Heat last faced the Canucks in a back-to-back set in Abbotsford on Feb. 3 and 4, winning by 7–3 and 2–1 counts. All four of Stockton&#8217;s four victories in the season series have come in regulation time.</p>
<p>Abbotsford most recently split a two-game series on the road against the Colorado Eagles on Feb. 19 and 20, taking the first game 2–1 before falling by a 4–2 score the following night.</p>
<p>Victoria Royals alumnus @Matthew Phillips has points in each of Stockton&#8217;s first four games against Abbotsford this season, including game-winning goals on Feb. 4 and Nov. 6 and a hat trick in the 7–3 win on Feb. 3. Phillips leads the Heat with 19 goals and 43 points in 38 games this season.</p>
<p>In roster news, the Heat re-added forward Dmitry Zavgorodniy to their roster on Friday following a stint on loan to Kontinental Hockey League club HK Sochi. The 21-year-old forward recorded three assists in 10 KHL games during the assignment; in 35 career AHL contests, he has one goal and four points.</p>
