GAME PREVIEW presented by Rodriguez & Associates
The Condors meet the Firebirds for the fifth time this season in the final game before the holiday break.
LOOKING BACK
Bakersfield rallied three times to force overtime, but a Josh Doan power-play goal was the game winner last night in a 4-3 Tucson victory. Jayden Grubbe, Xavier Bourgault, and Raphael Lavoie lit the lamp for the Condors.
GRUBBING ON POINTS
Grubbe has goals in back-to-back games, four total on the season, and points in three straight (2g-1a).
DOWNED IN OT
Last night was the first game which ended in overtime for the Condors this season. The team is 1-1 in shootout decided contests.
GRIFF CLOSES IN
Seth Griffith has assists in three straight games and now has 182 points as a Condor. He is six shy of Josh Currie’s AHL mark of 188, though Griffith has played nearly 100 fewer games.
FOUND NEEMO
Markus Niemelainen had an assist and was +2 in addition to leading the team with five shots a night ago.
THREE IS THE NUMBER
The Condors are 8-1-2 when scoring at least three goals this season. Last night was the first time in nine tries the Condors got at least a point when trailing after two periods.
ON THE OTHER SIDE
Coachella Valley had the night off. They were last in action on Wednesday, falling 5-1 in Henderson. Connor Carrick had the lone goal.
