SERIES HISTORY:
Tonight is Game 5 of the First Round of the Sudnay night in Fresno, the Condors tied the series, 2- 2.
The Condors started Game 4 just as they ended Game 3, by dominating the Falcons at both ends of the ice. Kevin St. Jacques opened the scoring early with a power play goal at 4:45 of the first, and the Condors never looked back, scoring one goal in the first, three in the second, and two in the final stanza. St. Jacques led the Condors with a hat trick and three assists. Sean Venedam, Josh Liebenow and Alexandre Bolduc also tallied goals in the win.
St. Jacques six-point night was the most points by a single player in the ECHL postseason since May 10, 2000, when Louisiana's John Spoltore registered a goal and five assists against Greenville. He is now the all-time Condors playoff leader in games played (23), most points (25), goals (9), power play goals (4) and is tied for first in game winning goals (2). He also ranks second all-time with 16 assists, trailing Sean Venedam whose assist last night gave him 17.
