TONIGHT

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT
Bakersfield scored first, a shorthanded goal from C Jujhar Khaira, but Milwaukee raced out to the next five en route to a 7-3 win last night at Rabobank Arena. The Condors received multi-point nights from RW Matthew Ford (1g-1a) and D Dillon Simpson (0g-2a) in the loss.
Stockton fell in San Diego, 4-2, last night. G Joni Ortio took the loss, stopping 17 of 21. C Derek Grant scored his 22nd goal, tying the AHL lead in that department.
SHORTHANDED
Power plays have been a friend to the Condors over the last three games going 5/12 on the man advantage. However, last night was the third straight game featuring a shorthanded goal and the first for the Condors in that span. After surrendering shorthanded goals in the two previous contests, Bakersfield C Jujhar Khaira potted the team's 7th shorthanded goal of the season to open the scoring. The Condors are tied for 7th in that category. LW Rob Klinkhammer has two shorthanded goals on the season in just four games.

Bakersfield is tied for the fewest overtime games with five... The Condors lost for just the sixth time in 26 games when scoring the game's first goal... RW Matthew Ford has a three-game point streak (1g-3a).
HEAT NOTES
Stockton's loss last night snapped a five-game winning streak... C Derek Grant is t-9th in points among AHL skaters with 37, despite playing in the fewest games of anyone in the top 20... Stockton is 12-6-0-0 on home ice, but 6-11-1-2 away from Stockton Arena.
