IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

San Diego took three of a possible four points at home to Stockton last weekend. Friday, RW Stefan Noesen, D Brandon Montour, and C Chris Mueller each recorded multi-point efforts in a 3-1 win. On Saturday, the Gulls erased a two-goal deficit, but fell in overtime, 5-4.
BOYCHUK JOINS BAKERSFIELD
The Condors received LW Zach Boychuk on loan from the Carolina Hurricanes as RW Andrew Miller was loaned by the Oilers to Charlotte (AHL). Boychuk was the all-time leader in goals, assists, points, and games played for the Checkers. The 26-year old veteran led the American Hockey League in goals with 36 in 2013-14. He is expected to make his Condors debut tonight.
PLAYOFF PICTURE
Bakersfield sits four points out of a playoff spot with a game in hand on fourth-place San Jose. San Diego paces Bakersfield by five points, with both teams having played 52 games. As it stands, four teams from the Pacific Division would make the playoffs with the fifth-placed Central Divsion team, Charlotte, being off the pace for a potential crossover position.
