After Cam Lund tied the game at 2-2, Josh Brown (2nd) found a cross-seam pass from James Hamblin and restored the Condors lead at 8:48 of the frame. Max Jones was denied a on penalty shot late in the period in an attempt to make it 4-2.
San Jose rallied in the third for three goals and handed the Condors their first road regulation loss in 11 games. It was the first time the Condors lost in regulation when leading after two.
