Published on February 25, 2026 under American Hockey League (AHL)
Bakersfield Condors News Release
The Condors play game two of a four-game road trip when they meet the Colorado Eagles at 6:05 p.m. Bakersfield is 1-3-1 in the eight-game season series.
LOOKING BACK
Bakersfield scored twice in the first, but it was all the offense it would get in a 4-2 setback a night ago. Sam Poulin and Atro Leppanen had the goals for the road side.
FINNISH FLAIR
Leppanen has goals in three straight games and four points (3g-1a) over that span. On the season, he paces Condors blueliners with 24 points (6g-18a) in 32 games.
HELPING OUT
Poulin is on a six-game point streak after the goal last night. He has seven points (2g-5a) during that time. Since being acquired from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, Poulin has 16 points (5g-11a) in 28 games.
PICKIN' BACK UP
Goaltender Calvin Pickard is expected to make his Condors season debut tonight. Since departing for Edmonton early in the 2023-24 season, Pickard went 39-23-4 in the regular season and 8-2-0 in the playoffs, helping the Oilers reach the Stanley Cup Finals in back-to-back seasons.
With Bakersfield, the Winnipeg native went 25-14-2 with four shutouts over parts of two seasons.
CLIMBING THE CHARTS
Viljami Marjala's first period assist last night was his 30th of the year and moved him into a tie for 12th in the AHL.
HAMMER TIME
Though his nine-game scoring streak ended last night, James Hamblin still leads the Condors in goals in 2026 with 10. He has 18 points (10g-8a) in his last 19 games. His career high for goals is 21 in 64 games set in 2021-22. This season, he has 18 in 44 games. He is third only to Seth Griffith and Josh Currie in goals by a Condor in their AHL era.
POWERING THROUGH
The Condors have the league's best road power play at 28.1% (25/89).
ON THE RANCH
Bakersfield has collected a point in nine of its last 19 games in Loveland, including an overtime loss on October 29 of this season.
GET TO THE THIRD
The Condors are 25-2-7 when holding at least a share of the lead after two periods.
GAME WINNERS
Roby Jarventie and Isaac Howard are tied for the team lead with five game-winning goals each. They are tied for third in that category around the league.
PLAYOFF PICTURE
Bakersfield finds itself right in the thick of the Pacific Division playoff race with 21 games left in the regular season. The team sits in a tie for third, six points back of tonight's opponent. Seven teams will qualify for the Calder Cup Playoffs from the Pacific Division with the one seed earning a first-round bye. Click here for the playoff primer.
