Condors Countdown with Head Coach J.F. Houle
TONIGHT
T he Bakersfield Condors take on the Colorado Eagles for the first time this season. The two sides will meet seven times over the rest of the campaign - with three of those games at Rabobank Arena. Bakersfield was the first-ever ECHL opponent of the Colorado Eagles on Opening Night 2011. The teams met just four times a season ago, but all four games were one-goal contests with three of the four going past regulation. Bakersfield was 1-1-2 against the Eagles in 2013-14.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT
Bakersfield surrendered two goals early in the first period and never recovered in a 5-1 loss at Ontario on Wednesday night. C Josh Currie scored on the power play for the Condors in the first to halve the lead, but it was as close as the Condors could get. G Frans Tuohimaa started for Bakersfield but gave way to G Ty Rimmer, 16 minutes into the first period.
The Eagles swept the Stockton Thunder at home on Tuesday and Wednesday. F Darryl Bootland had two goals on Tuesday night while F Brock Nixon matched him with a pair of his own on Wednesday. G Doug Carr earned the win in net both nights, but has since been recalled by the Adirondack Flames.

Bakersfield is t-5th in PP% at 20.1%. That number jumps to 25.4% on home ice.
