HUTSON SCORES TWICE IN CONDORS LOSS
The Bakersfield Condors (34-21-10, 78pts) gave up five goals in the second and fell 6-3 to the San Diego Gulls (31-23-12, 74pts) on Friday. Despite the loss, the Condors magic number to clinch a playoff berth dropped to five with Tucson’s regulation loss. Bakersfield has seven games remaining.
Bakersfield scored twice in the first 3:16 of the second on goals from Quinn Hutson (28th) and Ethan Keppen (3rd) to take a 2-0 lead. However, San Diego exploded for five unanswered including two power-play goals and a shorthanded goal to lead 5-2 after 40 minutes.
Hutson (29th) scored his second of the night, shorthanded at 4:33 of the third frame on the third assist of the night from Luke Prokop. That would be as close as the Condors would get in a 6-3 loss.
Hutson leads all rookies in scoring with 29 goals and 57 points.
