TONIGHT
The Bakersfield Condors close out the 2012 calendar year with their fifth meeting of the season with the Idaho Steelheads. Bakersfield has already played Idaho the most of any Mountain Division team and will face off with the Steelies in each of their next six contests. Tonight is the conclusion of a three-in-three for Bakersfield and the third game of a four game home stand. Conversely, the Steelheads are well-rested, having been off since Dec. 22.

The Condors were swept in two games by the Stockton Thunder on Thursday and Friday, falling by a 6-3 scoreline last night. The Thunder opened the scoring, and tallied four times in the 2nd period to keep their lead safe, while the Condors received goals by F Daniel Koger (shorthanded), C Levi Nelson and D Olivier Dame-Malka. Malka and Nelson also added an assist on the night for multi-point games.
Idaho has had an entire week off, last playing on Saturday, Dec. 22 at home. Las Vegas traveled to Boise and won 2-1 in a shootout. F Austin Smith had the lone regulation tally for the Steelheads as all five shooters were denied in the shootout. G Tyler Beskorowany got the start in between the pipes and made 28 saves on 29 shots.
