LAS VEGAS, Nev. - Matt Keetley made 28 saves to lead the Bakersfield Condors (12-32-4-1, 29pts) to a 2-1 victory over the Las Vegas Wranglers (30-16-1-3, 64pts) at Orleans Arena Friday night. Las Vegas capitalized on an early power play as F Scott Campbell banged home a loose puck to give the Wranglers a 1-0 at the 2:51 mark of the first period. Bakersfield found the equalizer at 5:46 when RW Tyler Helfrich tipped a D Ryan Annesley shot past Las Vegas G Joe Fallon to knot the game at 1-1. After the Condors killed off a four-minute power play, Bakersfield took the lead when F Peter Boyd snapped a rebound past Fallon to make it 2-1, 17:17 into the period. The Condors held the lead into the break and outshot Las Vegas, 14-11.
Neither team found the back of the net in the second period thanks in large part to the stellar play of Condors G Matt Keetley and Fallon.

Keetley made several key stops, including one on C Peter MacArthur with just over four minutes remaining in regulation.
