The following night, Ben Storm made his professional debut as the Rampage lost 5-3 to the Heat. Storm, who is on an amateur tryout, was the 153rd overall pick by the Avalanche in the 2013 draft.
Stockton got on the board first, but Smith tied the game for the Rampage on a power play with help from Bourque at 7:34 of the opening stanza.
Trailing 3-1 in the second period, Smith struck again and deflected a shot past Stockton goaltender Jon Gillies to cut the deficit back to one. Bourque recorded his second assist of the night and Grimaldi picked up a helper as well. Gus Young then took advantage of a loose puck and lit the lamp at 8:39 to the knot the game at 3-3 in the second period.
However, the Heat scored back-to-back goals in the final frame to complete the series sweep.
Joe Cannata started in the crease and made seven saves in the first period before being relieved by Martin, who finished out the match with nine stops.
Grimaldi leads the team and is third in the AHL with 29 goals. He has also contributed 22 assists in 68 games this year.
He'll have to wait to add to his total as Grimaldi and defenseman Duncan Siemens was recalled by Colorado Monday for the team's matchup against the Chicago Blackhawks at Pepsi Center on Tuesday night.
San Antonio hits the road this week to take on the Charlotte Checkers for two contests before hosting Bakersfield for two at home over the weekend.
