The Bakersfield Condors host the league-leading San Jose Barracuda for the 11th of 12 matchups in the regular season. San Jose has won seven of the previous 10 games, but the Condors are 2-1-1 at home against the Barracuda.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT
Bakersfield dropped a 3-2 decision to Stockton on Saturday at home. The Condors jumped on the board first with RW Jaedon Descheneau’s first AHL tally, but Stockton answered back and eventually scored the game-winner midway thru the third period. Descheneau finished with two points, his second multi-point game in his last four outings.
San Jose did not allow a goal over the weekend in back-to-back shutout victories over Grand Rapids and San Diego. G Troy Grosenick recorded both shutouts with 22 saves in a 1-0 shootout victory over the Griffins on Saturday and a 3-0, 25-save performance on Sunday. Three different Barracuda scored on Sunday with the goals coming on the power play, shorthanded, and with an empty net.
PLAYOFF PICTURE
