Reign shut out
Condors, 2-0
First-place showdown against the Steelheads next week in
Idaho
ONTARIO,
Calif. -
The Bakersfield
Condors (30-19-4-1,
65pts) were shut out by the Ontario
Reign (24-25-3-4, 55pts) 2-0, Sunday night at Citizens Business Bank Arena. G
Curtis Darling stopped all 20 Condors shots he faced.
Ontario opened the scoring just 1:55 into the game. RW Tony Voce scored his
19th of the season on the power play. That was all the scoring in the period,
with Ontario holding a 9-6 lead in shots.
The second period was scoreless, but did not lack excitement. D Eric Regan
dropped the mitts with D Brian Kilburg early in the period. Regan was assessed a
game misconduct on the play, due to his jersey fight strap not being tied down.
Bakersfield out-shot Ontario 8-7 in the middle frame.
The Condors pressed for their first goal of the game,
but it was Ontario, who scored next. RW Mike Howe converted a Reign rush for a
2-0 lead with 6:24 left in the third period. The Condors had a late two-man
advantage and pulled G J.P Levasseur for an extra-attacker, but could not push
one past the goal line. Bakersfield finished the game 0-for-7 on the power play,
while Ontario scored once on their five tries.
