West Valley City, Utah - The Bakersfield Condors defeated the Utah Grizzlies 3-1 Friday night in front of a sellout and all-time high attendance of 10,700 at Maverik Center.

Utah outshot Bakersfield 40-34 in a game that turned out to be a matchup of two strong goaltenders. Brian Stewart stopped 39 of 40 from Utah in the game and Andrew Engelage turned aside 31 of 33 in a losing effort for Utah.

"We did a lot of real good things tonight, there were a lot of positives," said Grizzlies Assistant Coach Leigh Mendelson. "We need to clean up our own end."

Bakersfield led 1-0 after one period on a power-play goal and made it 2-0 with 11:21 gone by in the third period.

Utah made it 2-1 off of a face-off 13:36 into the final period as Marcus Carroll won the draw to Hugo Carpentier who buried his 16th goal of the year.

Bakersfield completed the scoring with an empty-net goal in the final 30 seconds.

The Grizzlies host Bakersfield again Saturday at 7 p.m. before opening the playoffs next week.
