Adam Cracknell scored his 19th of the season on Wednesday and has 11 points (6g-5a) and is +12 in eight April games. He could become the Condors third 20-goal scorer of the season, a feat only accomplished in one other year for Bakersfield.

Seth Griffith has 10 points (3g-7a) during his four-game point streak. He is fourth overall in league scoring with 75 points on the year.

DOWN THE HALL
Tucson is led by the return of Matias Maccelli. The rookie has 55 points (14g-41a), fifth among all first-year players despite spending significant time in the NHL with Arizona.
