Bakersfield Condors News Release
The Condors and Roadrunners wrap up the two-game set tonight. It is the fifth matchup in the season with the Condors owning a 2-1-1 record and a 1-1-1 mark on the road.
LOOKING BACK
A see-saw affair saw both teams have multiple leads in regulation before Tucson grabbed an overtime win, 5-4. Seth Griffith scored his 100th goal as a Condor as part of a multi-point night.
THE FOURTH PERIOD
Overtime has not been kind to the Condors who slipped to 1-5 in games decided past regulation. The team has not been to a shootout yet this season.
HUTSON HEATER
Quinn Hutson is second among AHL rookies in scoring with 25 points (14g-11a) on the season. He is third among all AHL players with 14 goals with seven coming on the power play. The Condors rookie record for goals in one season is 19, set by Cooper Marody in 2018-19.
DEBUT DAY
Samuel Poulin, acquired along with Tristan Jarry from the Pittsburgh Penguins, is expected to make his Condors debut tonight. The 24-year old led the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins in scoring at the time of the trade with 20 points (9g-11a) in 22 games. He was selected in the first round (21st overall) in the 2019 NHL Draft by Pittsburgh.
DISHING IT
Atro Leppanen extended his assist streak to six games (seven assists overall) last night. He has 11 points, all assists, in his last 10 games. He is 2nd on the team in assists with 16 and is 3rd among all AHL blueliners in assists. He is t-5th among d-men in scoring.
SPECIALIZING
Leppanen's 10 power play assists are third in the AHL while Hutson's seven PPG's are tied for second.
MILLY'S A PLUS
Mason Millman was a team best +3 last night and had an assist. He is tied for the team lead at +9 in 12 games and has four points (1g-3a).
ONE LAST THING
Condors captain Seth Griffith became the second player of the AHL era to hit 100 goals. Josh Currie at 103 is the other and is the final box to check in most statistical categories for Griffith in the team's record book.
OFFENSIVE SUCCESS
The Condors are t-6th in offense, averaging 3.48 goals per outing.
QUICK STARTS, STRONG FINISHES
Bakersfield scored three times in the first period last night and is +3 in the first period in goal differential this season. The team is +5 (28-23) in third periods this season as well.
