After taking the series edge with their 7-3 win Tuesday, the Falcons rode an ECHL-record eight power play goals to the win. They led 5-0 before Steve Rodberg scored in the second period to get Bakersfield on the board, and held on easily despite Andrew Ianiero's two third period markers.

Jay Langager has been activated from the 3-day IR and Scott Borders is back from the 7-day IR. Steve Gillen was placed on the 7-day IR and Alex Rogosheske on the 3-day IR. Todd Griffith (30-day) remains on the IR though he is now eligible to return.

All pre-game warm up jerseys besides Todd Griffith's and Andrew Oke's will be auctioned on the concourse behind section 110 at the game tonight, staring when doors open at 6 p.m. Andrew Oke's jersey will be auctioned live during the first intermission at the game tonight.
