CONDORS NEARLY PULL OFF MIRACULOUS RALLY
The Bakersfield Condors (25-13-7, 57pts) scored two extra attacker goals but fell 4-3 to the Ontario Reign (30-14-2, 62pts) in front of 5,138 at Dignity Health Arena.
Luke Prokop (3rd) scored for the second straight game on a sifted shot from the right point to make it 1-0 on the opening shot of the game.
Ontario scored twice in the second to take a 2-1 lead, both off deflections. They outshot the Condors 18-8 in the frame.
Glenn Gawdin gave the Reign insurance with eight minutes left to make it 3-1. James Hamblin (14th) scored with the extra attacker as he banged home a rebound with three minutes left to make it 3-2. Ontario would get an empty-net goal to make it 4-2 before Viljami Marjala (13th) scored another extra-attacker goal to make it 4-3 with 44 seconds left.
Hamblin has 12 points (6g-6a) in his last 12 games.
Bakersfield is now 11-3-2 in its last 16 games and is 16-5-1 overall on home ice.
