Feb 24, 2026
LOVELAND, CO. – 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The Eagles would hop back in the driver’s 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.
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.
Tomkins suffered the loss in net, allowing four goals on 29 shots.
