Long Beach took the lead just 4:01 into the game. Mike Barrie poked the puck past the Condors defenseman at the Ice Dogs blue line and streaked in alone on Kevin St. Pierre, beating him for his 14t of the season. The Ice Dogs made it 2-0 when Trent Clark blasted home a one-timer at the 13:22 mark of the first. Barrie picked up his second point of the night wit an assist on the goal.
