BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (AP) — Max Comtois scored 4:20 into the fourth overtime early Saturday to give the San Diego Gulls a 3-2 victory over the Bakersfield Condors in Game 1 of the American Hockey League's Pacific Division final.

Starrett finished with 53 saves, and San Diego's Jeff Glass stopped 51 shots.
Justin Kloos and Sam Carrick also scored for San Diego, the Anaheim Ducks' farm club. Brad Malone and Joe Gambardella scored for Bakersfield, the Edmonton Oilers' top affiliate.
