Make it eight straight wins for the Stockton Heat.
Jakob Pelletier scored twice, including the overtime winner, while Matthew Phillips and Byron Froese each added a goal and an assist in Stockton’s 5-4 win over the Bakersfield Condors on Wednesday.
Eetu Tuulola also scored for Stockton, which improved to 8-0-1 with the victory. Condors captain Brad Malone recorded two goals and four points in the loss.
Connor Zary made his season debut for Stockton in Wednesday’s game after missing the first eight games with a lower-body injury he suffered in Calgary Flames training camp.
He looked a little rusty, posting a team-worst minus-three rating (meaning he was on the ice for all three Bakersfield goals at 5-on-5) and failing to record a single shot on net.
