Bakersfield Condors Host Tucson with League's Best Home Record
The Bakersfield Condors will host the Tucson Roadrunners at Dignity Health Arena for the first time this season while holding the league's best home record.
How we reported this
The Bakersfield Condors host the Tucson Roadrunners at Dignity Health Arena on Sunday after Tucson claimed the first two meetings of the series in October.
Home Record and Scoring Edge
The Condors own the AHL's best home record at 7-0-1 and have outscored opponents 36-22 at Dignity Health Arena according to team records. That mark has kept the club competitive in a tight Pacific Division race where they sit fourth, six points behind second-place Colorado Eagles with 18 games left in the regular season.
Offense and Recent Home Result
Bakersfield ranks sixth in the league for offense at 3.50 goals per game. The team closed its most recent home outing with a 7-4 win over Henderson that drew 8,534 fans to Dignity Health Arena.
Rookie Quinn Hutson Impact
Rookie Quinn Hutson sits tied for third in the AHL rookie scoring race with 19 points and tied for second in goals with 10. His production has become a focal point for the club as it prepares for the Tucson series.
The matchup at Dignity Health Arena gives the Condors an opportunity to build on their home results before the remaining stretch of the schedule. Observers will watch how the team's offensive output and Hutson's contributions shape the outcome against a Tucson side that has already taken two earlier meetings.
