GAME PREVIEW presented by Rodriguez & Associates

The Condors head to San Diego for game two of a four-game road trip.

LOOKING BACK

Bakersfield cut into a two-goal, second intermission deficit, but an Akil Thomas empty-net goal proved to be the game-winner in a 4-3 setback on Sunday. Carter Savoie (7th) and Matvey Petrov (8th) each had third period goals.

THREE IS THE NUMBER

The Condors are 30-5-1 (.847) when scoring at least three goals this season.

ROAD WARRIORS

LOCKED DOWN LEADING AFTER TWO 

The Condors are 22-1-1 when leading after two periods this season. Overall, the team is 33-5-2 when holding at least a share of the lead after two frames.

MULTI POINT PROWESS 

Three Condors recorded multi-point games on Sunday. Savoie and Petrov each had a goal and assist while Ben Gleason had two helpers.

BACK TO BACK

Raphael Lavoie’s 25 goals matched his career high, set last season. He has 68 career goals in the AHL. His 12 power play goals are tied for third in the league.

PACIFIC TIGHTENING UP

Bakersfield is three points out of fourth place, with a game in hand on Ontario. The Reign are in San Jose tonight. With a win tonight, the Condors would be two points back of third place Colorado, which is idle tonight.  Click here for the AHL’s Playoff Primer

PLUS PHIL

POWERED UP

OLLIE! OLLIE! OLLIE!

Tonight’s expected starter, Olivier Rodrigue, is in line for his fourth straight start. His .917 save percentage is t-7th in the AHL.

ON THE OTHER SIDE
