Reign at Bakersfield tonight.

As reported elsewhere today, the Ducks signed ex-King Kyle Calder and assigned him to Bakersfield, where the Reign (2-2) are headed for a game at 7 p.m. tonight against the Condors (3-2). No word yet on whether or not Calder will be in the lineup.

Some more notes:

  • The Reign lead the league on the power play at 44.4 percent (8-for-18).
  • Ontario’s Greg Hogeboom has four goals and six points in his last three games.
  • Bakersfield rookie defenseman Stu Bickel had a career-high two assists on Saturday at Victoria.
  • Condors left wing Dan Sexton is second among ECHL rookies with seven points (3g-4a).
  • According to the Bakersfield Californian, the Condors will roll out some different lines than the Reign saw during their opening weekend.
  • The Reign won’t have to face goaltender Justin Pogge, who shut them out on opening night. He’s in Anaheim while Ducks goalie Jean-Sebastien Giguere rehabs a strained groin, while Timo Pielmeier gets the start in net. Pielmeier allowed seven goals on 19 Reign shots in the Reign’s 8-2 win Oct. 17

Make that 11 …

… players on NHL contracts the Reign will see tonight in Bakersfield. That is, if Dan Sexton has arrived from San Antonio of the American Hockey League. The rookie forward out of Bowling Green had a solid preseason in the Ducks’ NHL camp, then didn’t play for San Antonio, which is a Phoenix Coyotes’ affiliate, before being assigned to the Bakersfield Condors on Friday.

Including Sexton, Bakersfield’s roster now features 11 players under NHL contracts to the Ducks.
