Bakersfield Condors News Release
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - Bakersfield Condors All-Star forward Todd Griffith will be out four- to-six weeks due to a broken left hand, an injury he suffered during the Condors 6-0 win over the Phoenix RoadRunners on March 13. Griffith broke his third, fourth, and fifith metatarsals during a fight with Tommy Maxwell at 14:45 of the third period.
Griffith has played in 46 games for the Condors this season, leading the team with 26 goals and 17 assists. The 5-foot, 11-inch, native of Welland, Ontario, currently ranks second in goals among ECHL rookies and was selected as an ECHL All-Star this year.
During the Condors nine-game road trip he has tallied three goals and one assist in six games. On March 9, Griffith knocked home the game-winner in overtime against the Utah Grizzlies to clinch a playoff spot for Bakersfield.
On January 8, Griffith was called-up to the AHL and played in one game for the Bridgeport Sound Tigers, an affiliate of the NHL's New York Islanders, recording no goals or assists and two penalty minutes.
The Condors face-off against the Phoenix RoadRunners for the second game of their two-game series Thursday, March 15 at 7:11 p.m. before finishing off the four-city, nine-game, 16-day road trip with a 7:30 p.m. contest in Long Beach Friday, March 16.
