ONTARIO, Calif. - G Ryan Nie stopped 39 of 40 shots, but the Ontario Reign claimed a 2-1 shootout victory against the Bakersfield Condors before 4,792 fans at Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario Friday night.

The Condors (6-8-3, 15pts) opened the scoring in the first period when F Matt Pope netted the rebound from a F Dale Reinhardt wrist shot for his team-leading 11th goal of the season at 7:15. Nie stopped all 15 Ontario shots in the period to keep Bakersfield ahead, 1-0, despite the Reign doubling the Condors in shots on goal through one.
