What comes after a winning streak to start the new year ends? For the Bakersfield Condors, you simply want to begin another one, even if it takes until the third period to do so.<\/p>\n
The Condors suffered their first loss of 2026 on Saturday in San Jose as the Barracuda won 3-2 in overtime, rallying back after letting a 2-0 lead slip with the Condors getting consecutive goals from Josh Samanski, Viljami Marjala and James Hamblin. San Jose\u2019s Cam Lund scored to tie it at 6:38 of the third period and Ethan Cardwell scored at 2:42 of overtime to end Bakersfield\u2019s five-game win streak.<\/p>\n
