Bakersfield, CA- The Steelheads extended their winning streak to three games with another win over a California opponent. Tonight, the Steelheads (10-7-2) earned a 4-3 victory over the Bakersfield Condors (6-9-3).
Bryan McGregor opened the scoring for the Steelheads tonight with a quick wrister after receiving a pass from linemate Mark Bomersback; Marty Flichel also picked up an assist on the goal at 5:46. Dale Reinhardt netted a shorthanded equalizer, making it 1-1, with 5:32 to go in period number one. Reinhardt capitalized on a neutral zone turnover, and beat Rejean Beauchemin top-shelf.

The first goal of the second period put the Steelheads ahead by two goals once again, as Ben Nelson netted his second on the power play at 8:40 of the period. The goal was Nelson's ninth, assisted by Gainey and McGregor. Andrew Ianiero scored at 16:22, with assists going to Sean Hurley and Chris Kaufman. After forty minutes, the score was 4-3, in favor of Idaho.
The third period yielded no scoring, as the game ended just as the second period did. Beauchemin, a former Condor, picked up the win to improve to 5-3-2 on the year; he made 20 saves on 23 shots. Yutaka Fukufuji fell to 0-1-0 with the loss, making 19 saves on 23 Idaho shots.
