November 9 vs. Toledo, 4-1 Win - Jim Lorentz scored two goals, including a short-handed marker, and Simon Lajeunesse made 33 saves as Fresno knocked off the previously unbeaten Storm.

November 13 vs. Victoria, 6-4 Win - Looking to close-out an eight-game homestand with their first back-to-back wins of the season, the Falcons dominated the Salmon Kings everywhere but on the scoreboard in the early going.

Three unanswered goals during the final 20 minutes, including the game-winner from Dan Tessier with 1:29 remaining in regulation, eventually delivered the win.
