Roby Jarventie provided the heroics and the Bakersfield Condors (12-9-5, 29pts) won 5-4 in overtime over the Coachella Valley Firebirds (14-7-4, 32pts) on Friday. Josh Samanski had two goals and two assists on the night while Ike Howard had three helpers.
A Josh Brown fight set the tone for an entertaining opening period of play. Coachella Valley struck first with their Teddy Bear Toss goal at 2:30. The period then belonged to the Condors though following the cleanup. Josh Samanski (4th) one-timed the tying goal at 4:28. The power play cashed in at 10:01 on Damien Carfagna's (2nd) point shot to make it 2-1. Samanski (5th) tacked on with his second of the period off a cycle to make it 3-1 into the first intermission. Isaac Howard had two assists in the frame while Samanski (2g-1a) had three points.
Coachella Valley scored twice in the final four minutes of the second period to pull even 3-3, including a power-play goal in the final minute.
Matvey Petrov (3rd) struck on the power play for his third in six games to give the Condors a 4-3 lead midway through the third period. Coachella Valley answered off a Condors turnover to tie it at 4-4 less than three minutes later.
In overtime, Jarventie (10th) tipped a Howard shot with 1:14 left for the 5-4 win.
It was the third overtime win of the season for the Condors who are 3-0-1 in their last four road games.
