GAME DAY PREVIEW PRESENTED BY RODRIGUEZ & ASSOCIATES

The Bakersfield Condors (4-7-2, 10pts) play game three of a four-game homestand with the first of two straight against the Colorado Eagles (8-6-2, 18pts) at 7 p.m.

LOOKING BACK

Bakersfield was able to secure a point last night in a 3-2 shootout loss to San Diego. Atro Leppanen scored early in the third period to tie the game at 2-2, but Matthew Phillips’ second round shootout goal was the difference.

HOMESTAND 

After spending nine of their first 11 games on the road, the Condors are home for much of the rest of November, including the current homestand. The team will be home for five of its next seven games and six of its next nine games.

FINNISH FLAIR 

Leppanen has a point in each of his first two games back in the lineup after missing 11 due to injury. Last season, the Mantta, Finland native led the team with 38 points (11g-27a) from the blue line.

CZECH MATE 

Tomas Cibulka scored his first home goal of the season and his second overall last night. He has three points (2g-1a) and is +2 on the season.

TOMKINS SOLID IN RETURN 

Matt Tomkins gave the team a chance last night, stopping 36 of 38 shots in his first AHL action. He carries a .922 save percentage through four appearances so far this season.

KILLING IT 

The Condors penalty kill has enjoyed a good run of late, killing 25 of its last 26 opportunities. Last night, the Condors were a perfect 5/5 on the kill.

INJURY BUG HITS AGAIN

Josh Samanski was added to the team’s growing injury list after leaving the game in the first period last night. He is not expected to play tonight.

For forwards, Samanski joins Connor Clattenburg and James Stefan who are out injured along with Aku Raty who is dealing with an illness.

On the blue line, Riley Stillman missed his first game of the season last night and is not expected to play tonight. Beau Akey also remains out. Damien Carfagna is expected to return for Bakersfield tonight with Zach Bookman shifting to forward for the shorthanded Condors.

JONNY BOY 

Samuel Jonsson is expected to start between the pipes tonight for the Condors. He registered a season-high 41 saves in Tuesday’s loss to Calgary. He is 1-1-1 with a 2.42 GAA and a .932 save percentage on the season.

EAGLES FLYING IN 

Colorado is on a five-game road trip which started with a split in Abbotsford earlier this week. Gavin Brindley had a goal and assist in Wednesday’s loss to the Canucks, but he was recalled yesterday by the Avalanche.

NEXT GAME 

The homestand wraps up bright and early on Tuesday as the Condors host Field Trip Day at 10:30 a.m. While the educational game will feature thousands of school kids in attendance, everyone is invited! (Click here for tickets)
