But they've strengthened their playoff prospects, having drawn to within two points of third-place Hamilton (36-26-1-6, 79 points). • The Heat hit the road this week for a Friday-Sunday set against the division-leading Manitoba Moose. The Vancouver Canucks' affiliate is tops in the North with 82 points, but they're just five up on the Heat, who also have a game in hand.
