This will mark the second consecutive postseason that the Condors and Falcons will meet. Last year, the teams met in the playoffs for the first time, in the Pacific Division Finals. The Falcons won the first two games in Fresno, 5-3 and 4-2, before the Condors responded with a 4-2 triumph in Game 3 at The Nest. Fresno took a seemingly insurmountable lead when they beat Bakersfield, 3-2 in overtime, in Game Four at Rabobank Arena. But the Condors staved off elimination with a 4-2 win at home and then a 4-3 overtime thriller in Fresno to force Game 7. In the deciding contest at Save Mart Center, the Falcons won, 4-2, to advance to the Conference Finals.
The Condors went 7-0-2 against the Falcons this year, but the regular season series was closer than the record indicates. All nine games were decided by two goals or less, with five of them going to overtime or a shootout.
