In Game 1, the line of Dan Riedel-Adam Miller-Kelly Czuy combined to score all three Wranglers goals and each finished +3 on the night. In Game 2, the line of Mark Derlago-Dave Bonk-Chad Painchaud combined to score all three Condors goals and each finished +3 on the night... Neither team has scored a power play goal yet in the series (Bakersfield - 0/7; Las Vegas - 0/6). Bakersfield has not gone more than two games in a row without a power play tally all season and set a team record at 20.5% (5th in the ECHL) during the regular season. The Wranglers were 3rd in the league (83.5%) on the penalty kill this season... There have been three fights already in the series, including two involving Condors RW Liam Huculak. There wasn't one fisticuffs penalty in the Condors six-game playoff series against Victoria last season.
