The Wranglers must suffer from a serious case of jetlag because Las Vegas remained winless on the road as the Bakersfield Condors eked out a 2-1 victory Monday night at Rabobank Arena.

After the Wranglers racked up six penalties in the first twelve minutes of the game, the Condors took a 1-0 lead during a five-on-three power play thanks to center Dave Bonk. The Condors out-shot the Wranglers 18-6 in that first period.

Midway through the second period, though, Las Vegas forward Adam Miller scored his first goal of the season to tie the game at 1-1. That lead did not last long as Matt Pope netted the game winner for Bakersfield on another five-on-three power play.

Wranglers goalie Brent Kahn made 32 saves, but has yet to pick up his first victory with Las Vegas.

The Wranglers are now 0-4-1 on the road, but they will return to the friendly confines of the Orleans Arena Friday and Saturday to face the Idaho Steelheads at 7:30 p.m. both nights.
