The Bakersfield Condors meet their only Eastern Conference opponent of the season as the Florida Everblades come to Condorstown. This is the third contest between the two sides all-time, with the teams splitting the first two contests. Both games were held in Bakersfield with the Condors notching a 1-0 win on November 9, 2003 and the Everblades enacting revenge with a 5-3 win on January 15, 2006.
CONDORS NOTES
The only other time the Condors were winless after three games to start the season, they beat San Diego on home ice in game four, 2-1, back in 2003... F Gary Steffes registered the first Condors Gordie Howe Hat Trick last night, with a goal, assist, and fight... D Erik Burgdoerfer has points in two of the three games thus far... F Brett Lyon is expected to make his 2013-14 Condors debut tonight after being released from his PTO with Abbotsford earlier this week.
