TONIGHT
The Bakersfield Condors conclude the 2011-12 regular season with their 12th contest against the Utah Grizzlies. Bakersfield has won five of the last six in the series, allowing just eight goals in those six games, including two shutouts back-to-back on Jan. 20 and Feb. 8.

Before a crowd of nearly 7,000, the Bakersfield Condors fired 43 shots and received goals from four different scorers en route to a 4-1 win over Utah last night. After a scoreless first period which saw Utah G Jimmy Spratt make 15 saves, the Condors scored two goals late in the second sparked by the shorthanded tally of LW Peter Boyd. RW Tyler Helfrich added a power-play goal before the period was out and the Condors cemented the win with goals from LW Evan Trupp and LW Jesse Gimblett in the third period. G Bryan Pitton picked up his 10th win of the season.
