Tonight’s match up:
The Condors and Steelheads open up a three-game series tonight, the final three games of the season series. Bakersfield holds a 4-2-1-0 record against Idaho this season, including 1-1-0-0 at home. The Steelheads are in third place in the Western Conference, but hold just a three-point lead over the fifth-place Condors in the standings. The Condors and Steelheads have met up 108 times since the 1997-98 season, with the Condors holding a 42-54-11 
overall mark. Bakersfield’s magic number to clinch a playoff spot is seven points (either points gained by the Condors, or points the Ontario Reign fail to gain).
