LOVELAND, CO. \u2013 Colorado forward Jayson Megna notched a goal and an assist, while fellow forward Jason Polin posted a pair of assists, as the Eagles defeated the Bakersfield Condors 4-2 on Tuesday. Goaltender Trent Miner earned the victory in net, stopping 22 of the 24 shots he faced. Colorado finished the night going 1-for-5 on the power play and a perfect 2-for-2 on the penalty kill.<\/p>\n

An early power play would set up Eagles forward Valtteri Puustinen to spin and fire a shot from the left-wing circle that would beat goalie Matt Tomkins, putting Colorado on top 1-0 at the 2:39 mark of the first period.<\/p>\n

A turnover at the Bakersfield blue line would see Condors forward Sam Poulin sprint down the ice before lighting the lamp with a wrister from the slot, tying the game at 1-1 with 6:30 remaining in the opening frame.<\/p>\n

The Eagles would strike back when defenseman Sean Behrens lit the lamp with a wrist shot from the top of the left-wing circle, giving Colorado a 2-1 advantage at the 15:43 mark.<\/p>\n

Just 15 seconds later, a 3-on-2 rush for Bakersfield would culminate with a shot from the left-wing circle from defenseman Atro Leppanen that would find the back of the net and square the score at 2-2.<\/p>\n

The Eagles would hop back in the driver\u2019s seat with 5:45 left to play in the second period, as forward Tye Felhaber swept home a shot from the low slot, putting Colorado on top, 3-2.<\/p>\n

Still leading 3-2 as the puck dropped on the third period, the Eagles would add a little insurance when Megna camped out at the top of the crease before steering a centering feed past Tomkins, giving Colorado a 4-2 lead at the 5:01 mark.<\/p>\n

Tomkins suffered the loss in net, allowing four goals on 29 shots.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LOVELAND, CO. \u2013 Colorado forward Jayson Megna notched a goal and an assist, while fellow forward Jason Polin…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":192608,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[151,153,152],"class_list":["post-192607","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-bakersfield","tag-bakersfield","tag-bakersfield-headlines","tag-bakersfield-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192607","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=192607"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192607\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/192608"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=192607"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=192607"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=192607"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
