On Sunday, November 5th, the Condors grabbed a 3-1 lead after one, a 5-2 lead after two, and hung on for the 6-4 victory.
At home on Friday, November 10th, the Condors led 2-0, fell behind 3-2, then tied the game on Tyler Scott's goal late midway through the third period and won it in a shootout as Jamie Hodson stopped four of the five Long Beach attempts. Then again at The Nest on December 2nd, the Condors set a team record for goals in a 10-2 rout of the Ice Dogs.
After tonight, Bakersfield and Long Beach will meet three more times, once in The Nest and twice at the Long Beach Arena. This will be the 72nd all-time match-up between the Pacific Division foes. Coming into tonight the Condors have a record of 38-23-10 all- time against the Ice Dogs, dating back to the West Coast Hockey League.
