TONIGHT
The Bakersfield Condors finish off the weekend against the Tucson Roadrunners. It is the second of eight season matchups between the two teams after the Roadrunners earned a 2-1 victory in Bakersfield back on October 13.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT
Bakersfield won for the sixth time in eight games last night, 4-2, in Ontario. After trailing 1-0 in the first intermission, RW Cameron Hebig tied it up midway through the second to make it 1-1 after two periods. RW Jesse Puljujarvi put the Condors ahead for good early in the third. LW Evan Polei had two assists while G Al Montoya stopped 28 shots in the win.
Tucson split a pair on home ice against the Stockton Heat before Thanksgiving. After dropping the opener, 8-2, the Roadrunners rallied for a 3-2 win on Wednesday. RW Conor Garland had a pair of goals in the victory.
