Oshawa Generals captain Tullio added to AHL Bakersfield Condors squad for playoff run

Oshawa Generals captain Ty Tullio still has some hockey left this season after the Edmonton Oilers prospect was assigned to the AHL Bakersfield Condors for the best-of-five Pacific Division semi-finals against the Stockton Heat in a California version of the Battle of Alberta.

The series gets underway Tuesday in Stockton, the affiliate of the Calgary Flames.

Tullio, who scored the dramatic tying goal a week ago with less than two seconds to go to send Game 6 of their OHL opening series against Kingston into overtime – only to lose on a goal by consensus number one draft pick Shane Wright in the extra session – will wear number 10 with the Condors.

Tullio scored 86 points in the regular season (tied for 12^th) and added another seven in the Kingston series. He was a fifth-round pick of the Oilers in 2020.

Bakersfield swept a best-of-three opening round series against the Abbotsford Canucks to earn a matchup with the top-ranked Heat.
