MAKING THE DONUTS

Stuart Skinner stopped 23 on Wednesday for his fourth AHL shutout of the season. It is the second most shutouts in the AHL in just 25 appearances. He is third in goals-against average at 2.17 and fifth in save percentage at .923.

APPLE ORCHARD

YANNI STEADY

Yanni Kaldis is on a three-game point streak with a goal and three assists in his last three games. His 19 assists are tied with Vinny Desharnais for the most by a Condors blueliner this season.

MR. 60

Seth Griffith became the third Condors player to hit 60 points in a single season with an assist on Wednesday. Tyler Benson holds the team scoring record with 66 points set in 2018-19. It is the second time Griffith has reached the 60-point plateau, notching 77 in 2015-16 as a member of the Providence Bruins.

PERLINI STREAKING

Brendan Perlini has points in seven straight games (7g-5a) and goals in four straight (5g). In his 32 game AHL career, the 25-year old has 24 goals and 35 points.
