SAN ANTONIO, TX (NEWS1130) – The Abbotsford Heat will look to snap out of a three-game losing skid this afternoon when it takes on the San Antonio Rampage. Abbotsford has lost six of it’s past seven games.
The recent slide has dropped the Heat out of a playoff spot in the Western Conference. Abbotsford is sitting 10th in the west with 65 points through 64 games, and trails Oklahoma City by one point for eighth. The Oil Barons have five games in hand.
This will be the fourth and final meeting between the teams this season. Abbotsford has gone 1-1-1 in it’s first three contests against the Rampage.
San Antonio got 36 saves from Jacob Markstrom in a 4-0 victory the last time they met, on Dec. 5.
Scoring goals has been a problem for the Heat. Only Hamilton (129) has less than Abbotsford’s 137 goals so far. Ben Walter leads the team in scoring with 35 points (12 goals, 23 assists), while Krys Kolanos and Roman Horak share the team lead with 14 goals each.
Game time is 1:30 p.m.
