TONIGHT

The Bakersfield Condors wrap up a home-and-home series with the Wranglers tonight, and are looking to get in the win column on home ice for the first time since mid-January. The Condors are 16 points out of a playoff spot, but play the team they're trailing in the standings (Utah) five times in the last month. Meanwhile the Wranglers own a six-point grip on the top spot in the Pacific Division.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

The Condors won back-to-back games for the first time since Opening Weekend, taking down the Wranglers 2-1 Friday night. That came off the heels of a 29-save shutout for G Matt Keetley on Wednesday in a 4-0 trouncing of the Utah Grizzlies. It was the first victory of the season against the Wranglers for Bakersfield, who received goals from F Peter Boyd and F Tyler Helfrich.
