After two straight losses against the Toronto Marlies on Oct. 12 and 13 to open the 2024-2025 American Hockey League season, the San Diego Gulls aimed to win their first game in their home opener against the reigning Western Conference Champion Coachella Valley Firebirds.

In front of 9,267 fans packed in Pechanga Arena, the Gulls almost made a miraculous comeback, as they were down 6-1 after two periods.
