Condors Storm Back to Defeat Colorado, 2-1 May 5, 2021
BAKERSFIELD, CA. – Eagles forward Sheldon Dries would net the game’s first goal, but back-to-back tallies for Bakersfield would allow the Condors to rally for a 2-1 victory over Colorado on Wednesday. The Eagles were held to a season-low 20 shots in the contest, as Colorado has now dropped each of its last four games. Adam Werner was solid in net for the Eagles, making 25 saves on 27 shots in the loss.
The opening 20 minutes saw Bakersfield earn a pair of power-play opportunities, but a strong effort from Werner and the penalty kill shut down both chances on the man-advantage and the contest would head to the first intermission still scoreless.
