ANCHORAGE, Alaska - The Bakersfield Condors again overcame a deficit Saturday night, but the Alaska Aces rebounded to win 3-2 in a shootout Saturday night, before 5,136 at Sullivan Arena. Bakersfield however still earns a point and leaves Anchorage with three of a possible four points.
Alaska (3-1-0) had an early 2-0 lead, but Kevin St. Jacques scored twice to knot the score. In the shootout, the Aces received goals from Vladimir Novak, Barrett Heisten and Olivier Filion. Only two Condors (2-2-1) could beat Chris Beckford-Tseu in the extra frame, Rane Carnegie and St. Jacques.
Alaska jumped out to a 2-0 lead thanks to first- period goals by Matt Shasby and Kevin Croxton. Shasby got things started 3:55 into the opening frame, taking a pass from Peter Metcalf and beating Condors goaltender Jamie Hodson high blocker-side for his second goal of the young year. Croxton got his on an Alaska power play, redirecting in Metcalf's original shot from the point. It was his third tally of the season.
St. Jacques got the Condors on the board with his first goal of the season 18:59 into the second period. Sean Venedam dug the puck out of the left wing corner and centered to St. Jacques, who tucked it past Alaska netminder Beckord-Tseu.
