The Abbotsford Canucks completed an out-of-this-world October with a definitive 5-1 win over the Bakersfield Condors in the California city on Friday (Oct. 30).

The team’s win streak was also extended to seven games with the victory. Abbotsford finished the month with a sparkling record of 8-2-0-1.

The club put a damper on Bakersfield’s $3 Beer Friday promotion very early when forward Ilya Safonov forced a turnover after an aggressive forecheck and found Kole Lind in the slot just 62 seconds into the game.

Abbotsford continued to dominate the first period and added to the lead when defender Kirill Kudryavtsev found a streaking Ty Mueller who made it 2-0 at 11:36. Mueller has a team-high six goals in 10 games this season.

Canucks forward Ben Berard increased the lead to 3-0 with a top corner shot that fooled Condors starting goalie Nathaniel Day at 15:23. Abbotsford led 3-0 after one and they also prevented Bakersfield from creating any offensive momentum with a 9-1 shots edge.

Bakersfield had a bit of a push back in the second and did appear to score a goal at the 5:28 mark, but the Canucks challenged the play as offside and that challenge was successful.

Abbotsford’s Riley Patterson then made it 4-0 with a power play goal at 15:47. The rookie forward now has four goals and is third in the AHL for rookie scoring with nine points.

Canucks forward Vilmer Alriksson connected with a laser of a shot at 19:02 and Abbotsford led 5-0 after two. Bakersfield had a 10-5 shots advantage in the second, but Canucks goalie Nikita Tolopilo came up with a number of key saves. Day, on the other hand, was yanked after two periods.

Bakersfield’s James Stefan broke Tolopilo’s shutout bid just 19 seconds into the third, although he was perfect for the rest of the period to help the Canucks collect the win. Abbotsford finished with a 21-19 shots edge and were also a perfect 4/4 on the penalty kill. The Canucks have killed an impressive 17 of 19 (89 per cent) shorthanded opportunities on the road.

Safonov and Kudryavtsev both had two-point nights, while defender Gavin White finished at a team-best +4. Patterson led all Canucks with three shots on goal.

The win improves Abbotsford’s record to 8-2-0-1 and they remain atop the Pacific Division. Abbotsford’s seven-game win streak is the longest active streak in professional hockey in North America and the longest this season in the AHL. The club record for a win streak is 13 games, which was set in the 2024-25 season. The seven-game win streak is longer than any streak the Canucks had in the 2025-26 season. They maxed out that season at four games.

Rookie forward Braeden Cootes did not play on Friday and has now missed four games with a lower body injury. Forward Jacob Quillan, who had five goals in seven games with Abbotsford, was called up to Vancouver on Friday and will likely dress in the NHL team’s game against Toronto on Saturday (Oct. 31).

Abbotsford next returns home for games against the Ontario Reign on Nov. 6 and 7.
