THREE IS THE NUMBER
The Condors are 23-3-1 (.870) when scoring at least three goals this season.

Bakersfield is 17-4-2 (.783) when scoring the first goal of the game. They have scored first in each of their last three wins.
SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS
The Condors 14 shots were the fewest in the team’s AHL era. In the team’s 26-year history only the nine shots fired in a 3-2 over Trenton in February 2004 were fewer.
JERSEY BOY
Dineen’s goal was his fifth of the season. He now has a goal and six assists in his last five games, including three multi-point nights.
