STOCKTON, Calif. – Andy Welinski scored the game’s first goal and rookie netminder Dustin Wolf made 30 saves then went 2-for-2 in the shootout as the Stockton Heat (16-2-2-1) topped the Bakersfield Condors (6-8-1-3) by a 2-1 final score Wednesday at Stockton Arena.
With the win, the Heat improve to 9-0-2-0 on home ice this season, setting a team record for longest home point streak at 11 games.
Each team struck once in regulation, Welinski scoring the game’s first 9:55 into the opening frame, then Bakersfield knotted the score with Vincent Desharnais’s second of the season with 4:50 to go in the second.
The teams then played to a scoreless draw through the third period and five-minute overtime, a tie that lasted until Justin Kirkland and Glenn Gawdin each lit the lamp while Wolf slammed the door with a pair of stops in two attempts.
Both teams went scoreless on special teams, the Heat killing Bakersfield’s lone power play.
