Hutson's Return Not Enough in Loss
Published on December 27, 2025 under American Hockey League (AHL)
Bakersfield Condors News Release
Quinn Hutson scored and had two points in his return, but the Bakersfield Condors (13-10-5, 31pts) fell 5-2 to the San Diego Gulls (12-8-7, 31pts) in front of 5,806 at Dignity Health Arena on Saturday. It was Bakersfield's first Saturday home loss of the season and just their third in regulation (9-3-1).
San Diego made it 1-0 with a shorthanded breakaway on the Condors first power play of the night. Bakersfield would answer on the same man advantage as Hutson (17th) powered a blast home from the left-wing circle from Seth Griffith and Isaac Howard. The Gulls would grab the momentum though with two goals, one on the power play, to take a 3-1 lead after one.
The Gulls extended the lead to 4-1 in the second period on a two-on-one odd man rush.
Atro Leppnanen (3rd) scored off the rush to cut the lead to 4-2, but that was as close as the home side would get. San Diego added an empty-net goal for a 5-2 finish.
Hutson scored in his return and is third in the AHL with 17 goals. He leads all rookies in scoring and has 27 points (15g-12a) in his last 15 games. He is fourth in the AHL scoring race.
