GAME DAY PREVIEW PRESENTED BY RODRIGUEZ & ASSOCIATES

The Bakersfield Condors (4-6-1, 9pts) open a four-game homestand against the Calgary Wranglers (7-7-0, 14pts) at 6:30 p.m.

LOOKING BACK

Bakersfield was shutout on Saturday in San Jose, 1-0, giving them a 1-1-1 record across the three-game road series with the Barracuda.

HOMESTAND 

After spending nine of their first 11 games on the road, the Condors are home for much of the rest of November, including a four-game homestand starting tonight. The team will be home for seven its next nine games and eight of its next 11 games.

GETTING HEALTHY 

Atro Leppanen is expected to make his season debut tonight after suffering an injury in preseason. Last season, he led the Condors blue line in scoring with 38 points (11g-27a) in 53 games.

Connor Clattenburg is expected to return to the lineup tonight as well. He has been out since October 11.

COUPLE TRANSACTIONS 

James Stefan was reassigned by Edmonton from Bakersfield to Fort Wayne yesterday. Goaltender Nathan Day was reassigned to Fort Wayne this morning.

Matt Tomkins was loaned back to the Condors on Saturday after going 1-1 with the Oilers.

SUCCESS WHEN SCORING FIRST 

Bakersfield is 3-0-1 in four games when scoring the first goal of the night. Second periods have been an early area of concern for the team with a -7 goal differential. The team is 31st in overall scoring at 2.36 goals per game.

KILLING IT 

The Condors penalty kill has enjoyed a good run of late, killing 15 of its last 16 opportunities. Bakersfield is up to 75% on the kill this season with three shorthanded goals.

WINS AT HOME

Last season, the Condors had the third best home record in the AHL, going 25-8-3 (.736). Tonight is just the team’s third home game of the season.

PREVIOUSLY WITH THE WRANGLERS

This is the fourth head-to-head with Calgary season. Bakersfield is 1-2-0 with all three being one-goal contests. Last time in Bakersfield, Calgary scored four power play goals en route to a 4-3 win in the Condors home opener.

.500 CALGARY

Calgary is 7-7-0 to start the season and comes in off a split in Colorado over the weekend. They are led by Ben Jones, who has nine goals in 11 games. They are 3-5-0 on the road this season.
