BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO) â The American Hockey League released its schedule for the Pacific Division playoffs, as the Bakersfield Condors fight for the top spot with the Henderson Silver Knights with five games to go.
The Condors and Knights will face-off in Vegas next week to potentially decide the regular-season champion and top seed, going into the Covid-altered post-season tournament.
Seven teams will participate in the tournament to determine the division championship. The fourth- through seventh-place clubs in the regular-season standings will play a single-elimination play-in, held at FivePoint Arena in Irvine, to determine who will join the top three teams in the best-of-three semifinals.
Jonas Brodin scored with 1:06 left, 26 seconds after Kirill Kaprizov had tied the game, and the Minnesota Wild rallied past the Vegas Golden Knights 6-5 on Monday night. Nick Bonino added two goals and an assist, while Joel Eriksson Ek and Kevin Fiala also scored for Minnesota, which trailed by two goals twice in the game. Cam Talbot stopped 27 shots for the Wild, who have beat West-leading Vegas five times in seven matchups this season.
Peyton Krebs’ NHL debut could be on the horizon.
The Golden Knights’ top prospect has joined the club in St. Paul and could be an option when they face the Minnesota Wild at Xcel Energy Center on Monday.
“Anybody that’s with us has both the potential of playing, and also our confidence that they can come in and play,” said Golden Knights coach Pete DeBoer. “Anybody that’s healthy enough is an option to play.”
Krebs, the Golden Knights’ first-round pick in 2019, just wrapped up his final albeit shortened junior season with the Winnipeg Ice. The three-year captain posted a league-high 43 points in 24 games.
