Gerald Coleman continued his brilliant play early in the hockey game, robbing Jean-Marc Beaudoin on three point blank chances, and stoning the Condors through the opening frame. Brandon Gentile then broke a scoreless tie late in the game with a slap shot goal from the left point at 18:09. The Aces outshot the Condors 13-7 in the frame, and took a 1-0 lead into the locker room after one period of play.
Early in the second period, the Aces shutout streak was snapped at 163:05, and the Condors didn't slow down after one. Pascal Morency scored on a two-on-one rush into the zone just 15 seconds into the second period. At 1:20 Rylan Kaip scored on a rebound to give Bakersfield their first lead at 2-1. Only 16 seconds after that, the Condors finished their three-goal flurry when Joey Ryan backhanded a rebound into the net to make it 3-1. The Condors scored three goals in 81 seconds. The Aces got back within a goal when Chris Langkow scored on a deflection at 5:22 to make it 3-2 Condors. Bakersfield got a late goal when Morency scored on a one-timer off a face-off at 18:25 to reclaim the Condors two-goal lead.
In the third period, the Aces got within one again on another Langkow goal at 10:18. The Aces had a 41 second two-man advantage, but could not find the equalizer. After Morency's third goal into an empty net, at 18:48, the Aces again pulled their goaltender, and Scott Howes brought Alaska back within a goal. The Aces nearly tied the score in the final seconds with an extra attacker, but goaltender Josh Tordjman hung on for the Condors win.
Coleman (4-2) took the loss with 16 saves on 20 shots. Tordjman (3-2) earned the win, with 29 saves on 33 shots. The Aces power play went 1-7, while the Condors went 0-2. The Aces outshot the Condors 33-21.
