TONIGHT

The Bakersfield Condors continue their four-game homestand with their second of three consecutive meetings against the Idaho Steelheads.  This is the third of seven meetings between the two sides

this season. However, after Saturday, the teams don’t play each other until March 7th in Idaho.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

Last night, Idaho raced out to a 3-0 lead behind goals from Chad Nehring, Kael Mouillierat, and Aaron Lewadniuk.  However, Bakersfield turned the tides though with second period tallies from Scott Freeman and Jimmy Martin before tying the game in the final minute of regulation with Alain Goulet scoring his second of the season, shorthanded.  The Condors went on to complete the comeback when Martin scored his second of the night .

The Condors snapped a three-game losing skid while the Steelheads relinquished a multiple-goal lead and lost for the second game in a row.
