In case you have forgotten, the Panthers acquired Jon Matsumoto and Mattias Lindstrom from the Carolina Hurricanes for Evgeni Dadonov and A.J. Jenks. Dadonov was a healthy scratch for San Antonio’s matchup against Abbotsford and reportedly asked the organization for a trade, and Jenks has yet to score for the Rampage. Granted, he was one of the Rampage’s best shootout players (3-0 with 2 game winners in the shootout).
Jon Matsumoto, the Charlotte Checkers leading scorer with 34 points (13G/21A), gives the Rampage roster much needed offensive help. He’s scored 20 goals (30 in 2009-10) in every one of his full seasons in the AHL and brings the Rampage All-Star total to two. Mattias Lindstrom is a huge forward (6’3″ and 212 pounds) currently playing for Tingsryds AIF in Sweden’s second highest division, HockeyAllsvenskan. In 18 career games in Elitserien, Sweden’s highest division, he only one point, a goal.

Two minutes later, the Rampage took the lead with Greg Rallo scoring off a rebound from Scott Timmins. This Saturday night was truly alright for fighting, as both teams had a combined total of eight fighting majors (Kearns, Selleck twice, and Wright).
San Antonio Rampage 2, Abbotsford Heat 1
The Rampage skated against an Abbotsford Heat team, AHL affiliate of the Calgary Flames, that played with only 17 skaters. The Rampage got on the board first, with a powerplay goal from James Wright, who deflected the puck into the net off an Evan Barlow shot. Scott Timmins picked up the secondary assist. The Heat would score four minutes later, off a goal that the Rampage coaching staff and goaltender Dov Grumet-Morris believed was kicked in from Akim Aliu. San Antonio was able to take back the lead with a huge goal from Mark Cullen. Cullen redirected defenseman Mike Vernace’s shot on the game winning goal, with Bracken Kearns getting credit for the secondary assist. Grumet-Morris finished the night with 25 saves.

After a scoreless second, which the Rampage were outshoot 14-5, San Antonio put the game away with three goals, two coming from James Wright (including an empty netter) and Eric Selleck.
