GAME PREVIEW presented by Rodriguez & Associates
The Condors host Colorado for the first of eight matchups on the season.
LOOKING BACK
Bakersfield had a 1-0 lead after one period, but two goals in 26 seconds of the second period put Ontario on top for good in a 2-1 win on Saturday. Carter Savoie scored his first goal of the season.
ALL THE RIGHT TOOLS
After a preseason injury forced him to miss the first 14 games of the season, Ty Tullio has responded with assists in each of his first three games of the year.
SAVVY FINISH
Savoie’s goal was his first of the season. He had eight goals in 44 games during his rookie season last year.
OLLIE OLLIE OLLIE
Despite the loss on Saturday, Olivier Rodrigue has continued his strong play between the pipes. In five starts, he’s 2-2-1 with a 2.17 goals-against average and a .935 save percentage. For goaltenders with at least five appearances, Rodrigue is tied for first in save percentage.
GOOD STARTS
After just eight first period goals in their first 14 games, the Condors have scored five opening period tallies in their last three games.
THREE IS THE NUMBER
The Condors are 7-1-1 when scoring at least three goals this season.
PLUS PEDEY
Lane Pederson is tied for second on the Condors with five goals. His +4 is best among all forwards.
ON THE OTHER SIDE
Colorado fell 4-3 to Tucson on Saturday after surrendering three third-period goals. They fire an average of 34 shots per game, good for second in the entire AHL. Ben Meyers has assists in five straight games.
UP NEXT
The Condors head to Coachella Valley this Saturday at 6 p.m. to take on the Firebirds. You can catch the game on iHeartRadio (AM 800 Fox Sports Radio) or AHLTV.com
