Haley leads Barracudas past Condors

By: Eric He

A late power play goal by Michael Haley was enough for the San Jose Barracuda to squeeze by the Bakersfield Condors 4-3 on the road on Saturday night.

Haley, who had two goals on the night, converted from point-blank for the game-winner at 16:41 of the third period after a feed by Ryan Carpenter. San Jose was able to hang on to seal its second consecutive road win.

Haley also scored the first goal of the game, deflecting a pass from Carpenter again to put the Barracuda up 1-0. After Bryan Lerg gave San Jose a 2-0 lead, a parade to the penalty box by the Barracuda resulted in consecutive power play goals by Bakersfield to even the score.

After the Condors went ahead 3-2 early in the third, the Barracuda finished with two unanswered for the win. Trevor Parkes recorded his first goal of the season, jamming in the rebound after a shot from the point.

Aaron Dell made 30 saves on the night, while prospect Julius Bergman made his season debut with the Barracuda.

The Barracuda will head back home and take on the San Diego Gulls on Wednesday.
