CONTROVERSIAL GOAL GIFTS CANUCKS A 2-1 WIN
A missed high sticking call leads directly to the Abbotsford game-winning goal
The Bakersfield Condors (24-22-9, 57pts) fell controversially, 2-1, to the Abbotsford Canucks (31-23-3, 65pts) on Tuesday. Alex Swetlikoff (5th) staked the Condors to a 1-0 lead in the first period as the team’s penalty kill killed off three man advantages in the opening frame.
A missed high stick on Drake Caggiula, which drew blood, directly led to the game-winning goal from Danila Klimovich at 11:42 of the third period.
The loss spoiled a terrific start from Collin Delia who stopped 31 of 33.
Bakersfield is stil two points back of the final playoff spot with two games in hand on the Roadrunners after the Roadrunners lost 4-2 at home to Ontario.
