Alan Quine led the Stockton attack with three points, including the game’s first goal and a pair of helpers – highlighted by the primary assist on Dube’s overtime-producing lamp lighter – but Cooper Marody’s marker just 58 seconds into the extra frame gave the home team the extra point in the standings.
The back-and-forth game saw Stockton take the game’s initial lead until back-to-back scores from Bakersfield before the first intermission.
The Heat countered with two-straight of their own, from Kerby Rychel and Tyler Graovac, both on the power play, to jump on top 3-2 through 40 minutes of play.
Bakersfield answered with two-straight of its own, putting the pressure on the visiting team until Dube’s tying goal with four minutes and change left in regulation.
The game saw five power play goals, three from Stockton and two from Bakersfield, as the Pacific Division foes combined to go 5-for-11 on the man-advantage.
