BAKERSFIELD MARRIOTT POST-GAME AUTOGRAPH BOOTH: RW Tyler Vesel and LW Braden Christoffer
TONIGHT
The Bakersfield Condors conclude their eight-game season series against the San Diego Gulls. Bakersfield owns a 4-2-1 record against San Diego and has won three straight in the series. That streak includes a 3-2 win on Wednesday in San Diego with C Kyle Platzer netting the game-winner in the third period.
