PETROV DOUBLES DOWN
Matvey Petrov snapped home two goals yesterday, giving him four on the season. It was his first career professional multi-goal game.
DINEEN ON A GOOD RUN
Cam Dineen played his 300th AHL game yesterday and marked the game with three assists. He became the fourth Condor this season to record at least three points in a game. Dineen leads all Condors d-men with nine points (1g-8a) in 16 games. He enters today on a four-game point streak (1g-5a).

BREAKING THE ICE
Lane Pederson (1g-1a) and Jayden Grubbe each scored their first goals of the season last night.
INCOMING
Tyler Inamoto was recalled from Fort Wayne this morning after the Condors finished last night’s game without Max Wanner and Daniel D’Amato. He split last season between Greenville and Ontario.
