This will be the sixth meeting of the regular season between the Condors and the Salmon Kings, with Bakersfield 4-0-1 against Victoria so far. Todd Griffith's hat trick led the way as Bakersfield triumphed, 6-4, on December 16, 2006 at The Nest. Then on January 6, 2007, Kevin St Jacques had two goals and three helpers as Bakersfield duplicated the 6-4 victory.
Last week in Victoria, the Condors blew out the Salmon Kings, 8-1, on Friday night as Mike Hofstrand and Josh Liebenow both scored twice. On Saturday night, Bakersfield couldn't hold on to a 5-3 third period lead and lost 6-5 in a shootout. But on Monday night, they came back strong behind St. Jacques two goals to beat Victoria, 4-2.
This will be the 20th all-time match-up between the National Conference foes. Coming into tonight's tilt the Condors are 14-4-1 all-time against the Salmon Kings.
