BAKERSFIELD MARRIOTT POST-GAME AUTOGRAPH BOOTH: None as the team travels to San Jose

TONIGHT

The Bakersfield Condors host the San Jose Barracuda in game nine of their 10 game season series. Bakersfield is unbeaten in regulation in its last five games against San Jose with a 3-0-2 record. Overall, the Condors are 4-2-2 against the Barracuda this season and are 3-1-0 on home ice.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

Bakersfield split a weekend series in Winnipeg against the Manitoba Moose. After a Friday night loss, the Condors erased a two-goal second intermission deficit on Sunday with four third period goals in a 4-3 win. RW Patrick Russell scored twice shorthanded, LW David Gust scored on the power play, and RW Tyler Vesel opened the scoring with his first professional goal.

San Jose swept Cleveland at home last Friday and Saturday by a combined 10-2 score. On Saturday night G Antoine Bibeau stopped 23 to preserve a 4-0 shutout win. LW Rudolfs Balcers had a goal and assist and C John McCarthy had two helpers.

BEAR AND LOWE BOLSTER BLUE LINE

D-men Ethan Bear and Keegan Lowe returned to the Condors yesterday following the conclusion of the Edmonton Oilers season. Bear made his NHL debut, scored his first NHL goal, and played 18 games with the Oilers on his first-ever NHL recall. Lowe played two games and made his Oilers debut.

MR. SHORTHANDED

RW Patrick Russell scored shorthanded twice in the 4-3 win over Manitoba on Sunday. He now has four on the season, which matches the Condors AHL-high for one season, set by Rob Klinkhammer in 2015-16. Overall, the Condors have nine shorthanded goals on the season. The most for one season was in 2015-16 when the team had 13.

CONDORS NOTES

C Cooper Marody joined the Condors after signing a three-year entry level contract with the Edmonton Oilers earlier in the week. He signed following his junior season at the University of Michigan where he led the Big 10 in scoring and helped the Wolverines to the Frozen Four semi-finals... Bakersfield is 26-20-8-1 against the Pacific Division... The Condors penalty kill is t-5th in the AHL at 84.2%... Tyler Vesel joined Ethan Bear, David Gust, Caleb Jones, Ryan Mantha, Logan Day, and Chad Butcher as players who scored their first professional goals with the Condors this season. Ostap Safin scored his first professional North American goal last week.

BARRACUDA NOTES

San Jose is still mathmatically alive for a playoff berth, even though they are even on points with the Condors. The Barracuda need three regulation losses from San Diego and three wins with at least two being in regulation or overtime... G Antoine Bibeau is tied for 3rd with five shutouts... LW Rudolfs Balcers is 7th among rookies in scoring with 46 points (22g-24a).
