The Bakersfield Condors return from the AHL All-Star break and begin a home-and-home series with the Stockton Heat. Bakersfield is 3-2-0 against the Heat in the first five of 12 meetings on the season including a 6-3 decision most recently in Stockton on January 21.

Bakersfield swept Texas on the road prior to the All-Star break with 6-3 and 4-2 wins. LW Ryan Hamilton had three goals in the two games, D Mark Fayne had two assists in the Saturday win, and G Nick Ellis stopped a career-high 44 shots to lead the Condors to victory in the second game. Bakersfield won two straight on the road for the first time since back-to-back wins in Milwaukee and Grand Rapids to close the 2015-16 season.
