It was a historic night for the San Jose Barracuda, who recorded their first win in franchise history with a 4-1 win over the Stockton Heat on the road on Thursday night.

The Barracuda jumped out to a 3-0 advantage after two periods. A breakaway goal by Ryan Carpenter put San Jose on the board 28 seconds into the second. Micheal Haley’s goal from a tough angle made it 2-0, and Scott Timmons made it a trifecta in the period, putting home a rebound that was ruled a good goal upon review.

Nikita Jevpalovs, who earned first star honors, added the finishing touches with a third period marker that answered a goal by Stockton in the third period.

Goaltender Aaron Dell was solid for San Jose, stopping 25 of 26 shots.

Another road game awaits the Barracuda on Saturday, as they face the Bakersfield Condors on the road at 7pm.
