TONIGHT
The Bakersfield Condors play their third game in four days and begin a three-games-in-three-nights weekend tonight against the Las Vegas Wranglers. Tonight's meeting is the sixth between the Condors and Wranglers and the fifth of six in Bakersfield. There are still four games left in the season series following tonight's game. The Condors hit the road for two games in San Francisco on Saturday (7:15 p.m.) and Sunday (2:15 p.m.).
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT
The Condors suffered a heartbreaking defeat at the hands of the Ontario Reign on Wednesday night, 4-2. After trailing 2-0 into the third period, C Nicholas Tremblay took over, scoring two goals in a three-minute span before the midway point of the frame, but a goal from F Derek Couture with under three minutes left in regulation snatched a regulation win for the Reign. It was the second game on the week already for the Condors, who knocked off Stockton, 4-3 at Rabobank Arena on Tuesday night.
