TONIGHT

The Bakersfield Condors play game two of a four-game home stand with their second straight against the Ontario Reign. This is the final meeting of the regular season between the two sides and the sixth played at Rabobank Arena.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

Bakersfield scored first, then fell behind, only to rattle off the final three goals of the contest in a 4-2 win over Ontario a night ago. The Condors were paced by two goals from C Jacob Lagace, two assists from new F Shawn Skelly, and 29 saves from G Scott Greenham. C Nicholas Tremblay also scored in his return from the American Hockey League, and RW Scott Freeman had a goal and assist.

TWO POINTS GAINED

The Condors got what they needed last night with a four-point swing on the San Francisco Bulls, inching closer to the final playoff spot in the Western Conference. San Francisco fell 3-2 on home ice to Alaska and now sits six points ahead of Bakersfield with two games in hand on the Condors. It turned out to be former Condor F Alex Hudson who helped his former team, scoring the game-winning tally in the third period for Alaska. Bakersfield plays six of the final nine games of the regular season in Condorstown, including two against the Bulls during the final week.

CONDORS NOTES

C Jacob Lagace has five goals in eight games against Ontario. He is the Condors leading scorer against the Reign with seven points (5g-2a)... C Nicholas Tremblay has three goals and two assists for five points in four games against Ontario... Four Condors made their debuts last night with F Shawn Skelly setting up two goals... RW Scott Freeman had his fourth multi-point game of the season with a goal and an assist last night.
