GAME PREVIEW presented by Rodriguez & Associates
The Condors start 2024 at home against the Canucks after finishing 2023 on a 4-0-2 run.
LOOKING BACK
Ben Gleason scored twice in the third period and the Condors won their final game of 2023 by a 4-2 count over San Jose on Saturday. Jack Campbell stopped 31 for his fifth win of the season.
BIG GOAL BEN GLEASON
Gleason played his first game since Dec. 2 after being a healthy recall with Edmonton and scored twice in the third period on Saturday. He has six points (3g-3a) in his last four games with the Condors.
MISTA CARTER
Carter Savoie opened the scoring on Saturday and now has five points (1g-4a) in his last seven games.
POWDER KEG
Greg McKegg earned an assist on Saturday and he now has five assists in his last six games.
STREAKING
The Condors are on their longest point streak of the season, having garnered 10 of a possible 12 points over their last six games. It’s been needed as eight of the top 10 teams in the Western Conference are from the Pacific Division.
KEEP IT CLOSE
Bakersfield is 12-2-2 when holding at least a share of the lead going in to the third period and unbeaten in regulation (8-0-1) when leading after two. The team is 10-2-1 when scoring first.
THREE IS THE NUMBER
The Condors are 10-1-3 when scoring at least three goals this season.
SETH SIZZLING
Seth Griffith is expected to return to the lineup tonight after missing Saturday’s game with illness. He has 17 points (3g-14a) in 21 games this season and 185 points in his Condors tenure. Josh Currie is the current team franchise scoring leader in the AHL with 188 points.
UPS AND DOWNS
Raphael Lavoie is due back in the lineup for the Condors tonight after being an emergency recall and playing Saturday in LA against the Kings. Ethan De Jong and Xavier Bernard were both loaned to Fort Wayne.
ON THE OTHER SIDE
Abbotsford is the second highest scoring team in the league at 3.54 per game. However, they were shutout in their most recent outing, 5-0, in Calgary on Saturday.
UP NEXT
The Condors head to San Diego for their lone trip of the season to take on the Gulls Friday and Saturday. Catch all the action on AM 800 Fox Sports Radio, iHeartRadio, and AHLTV.com.
