GAME DAY PREVIEW PRESENTED BY RODRIGUEZ & ASSOCIATES

The Bakersfield Condors (3-4-0, 6pts) host the Abbotsford Canucks (6-2-1, 13pts) in Downtown Condorstown at 7 p.m. It is just the second home game of the season for Bakersfield who returns to the road for a three-game road trip in San Jose starting on Sunday.

LOOKING BACK

For the third weekend in October, the Condors split a road series, beating Colorado 4-1 on Saturday. Aku Raty scored twice for the Condors and Nathan Day stopped 28 shots for his first AHL victory.

DAY-BUT WIN

Nathan Day was recalled last Friday and came on in relief of Connor Ungar for half of the contest, holding Colorado off the board. He stopped 28 of 29 shots Saturday for his first AHL win. The 21 year old was 22-9-8 with Fort Wayne (ECHL) last season. With Matt Tomkins in the NHL and Ungar still out injured, Samuel Jonsson will back up Day tonight.

SHORTHANDED SPECIALISTS

The Condors are tied with Springfield and Utica for the most shorthanded goals scored in the league with three. Tucker Robertson has two of them while Simon Tassy scored the other.

ROBO COP

Robertson has been an early offensive boost for the team notching six points (3g-3a) in seven games.

FINN-ISHING

Aku Raty is on a six-game point streak with eight points over that stretch (5g-3a). However, he has been dealing with an illness and is a game time decision tonight.

THE MAJICIAN DISHIN’

Viljami Marjala recorded his first multi-point game of the season on Saturday. His six assists in seven games is the most on the team.

EVEN STRENGTH SUCCESS

The Condors have allowed just eight even strength goals in seven games this season. Conversely, the team has scored 12 at full strength.

COMINGS AND GOINGS

Beau Akey was injured on Saturday, necessitating the call-up of d-man John Gormley from Fort Wayne. Jack Kopacka was released from his PTO and will report to the Komets.

CHECKING THE CANUCKS

Abbotsford is the most offensive team so far this season in the AHL, averaging 3.89 goals per game. Ty Mueller and Jacob Quillan, who the Canucks received from Toronto in a trade, both have five goals on the year. The team is unbeaten in seven games, going 6-0-1 over that span.

UP NEXT

The Condors head back out on the road Sunday for three games in San Jose against the Barracuda. Sunday’s game is at 3 p.m. Catch all of the action on AM 800 Fox Sports Radio, the iHeartRadio App, and AHLTV on FloHockey
