Here is a look at Sunday around the AHL:

ONTARIO 5, BAKERSFIELD 2
Quinton Byfield netted his first career hat trick to lead the Reign (12-6-0-1) to a win over the Condors. Byfield opened the scoring just 31 seconds into the game, added a marker in the second period and capped the victory with a shorthanded empty-netter in the third. Rasmus Kupari converted a penalty shot, Frederic Allard scored off a faceoff win, and Cal Petersen turned aside 27 shots for Ontario.
