Bakersfield Condors News Release
The Bakersfield Condors close the 2025-26 regular season with a 7 p.m. road tilt in San Jose. Bakersfield is 4-2-1 in seven games against the Barracuda this season.
LOOKING BACK
Sam Poulin and Roby Jarventie each scored twice last night as the Condors won their home finale, 5-2. Matt Tomkins stopped 28 shots for his 20th win of the season.
COACHELLA IT IS
The Condors will meet the Coachella Valley Firebirds in round one of the Calder Cup Playoffs next week. Home ice is still to be determined for the series, but Bakersfield's first home game will be either Thursday if it's the 5 seed and Friday if it's the 4 seed.
Coachella Valley has San Diego tonight on the road and Abbotsford tomorrow at home. The Condors need one more point from their game tonight more than the amount of points Coachella collects in its two games.
ROOKIE SCORING RACE TO COME DOWN TO FINAL GAME
Quinn Hutson recorded his second multi-assist game of the week to stay in the conversation for the rookie scoring crown. He has 63 points, one behind Ilya Protas of Hershey. The Bears have two games left. Hutson's 30 goals are two more than Protas.
POWERED UP
Isaac Howard's power play goal last night was his 23rd of the season overall and his 7th on the man advantage. His 23 goals in 46 games is third most among rookies.

MR. INSURANCE.

GET TO THE THIRD
The Condors are 34-3-9 when holding at least a share of the lead after two periods.
SAN JOSE SWIMMING
With just one win in their last 11 games, the Barracuda have slipped to sixth in the division and will face Henderson in round one next week. Filip Bystedt scored last night and is second on the team with 22 goals.
