Published on April 11, 2026 under American Hockey League (AHL)
Bakersfield Condors News Release
The Bakersfield Condors (36-23-10, 82pts) dropped a 7-3 decision to the San Diego Gulls (33-24-12, 78pts) in front of 6,649 on Saturday at Dignity Health Arena. Bakersfield remains in a tie for fifth, two points out of fourth with three games left.
For the second straight night, San Diego grabbed a 1-0 lead in the first period. After a big breakaway save denied a 2-0 advantage, Seth Griffith (17th) sniped the game-tying tally. A late Condors power play led to their first lead of the night when Viljami Marjala (15th) followed up a rebound to make it 2-1.
San Diego took over in the second scoring four unanswered goals to take a 5-2 lead into the second intermission.
Tommy Lafreniere (1st) scored his first pro goal in the third period to cut the deficit to two, but San Diego scored two empty-net goals for a 7-3 final.
