Las Vegas Wranglers News Release


Bakersfield, Calif. - Playing their first game after nine days off, the Las Vegas Wranglers fell 4-3 to the Bakersfield Condors tonight despite a three-goal third period comeback attempt.

Condors left wing Chris Collins put the team on the board with a power play goal at the 14:06 mark of the first. An early second period goal from Condors center Joel Broda made it a 2-0 game, and after 40 minutes, Bakersfield held the 3-0 advantage on a goal from center Gary Steffes.

Wranglers left wing Adam Huxley denied Condors (G) Laurent Brossoit's shutout attempt with a goal 2:55 into the third. To make it a one-goal game, Wranglers center John Armstrong found the back of Bakersfield's net, but Condors left wing Michael Neal responded 1:32 later to give the home team the 4-2 lead. Wranglers defenseman Nolan Julseth-White posted his second goal of the season less than a minute later, but the Condors held on for the 4-3 win. In the loss, Wranglers (G) Mitch O'Keefe made 27 saves as Bakersfield outshot Las Vegas 31-23.
