The San Jose Barracuda lost their third straight game on Friday night, falling in 3-2 overtime to the San Diego Gulls on the road.

With the game tied 2-2, Stefan Noesen won the game for the Gulls, finishing off a pass from Brandon Montour on rush less than two minutes into the extra session.

The Barracuda had evened the score in the third period courtesy of Nikolay Goldobin, who found the back of the net midway through the third to tie the game at 2-2.

After a scoreless first period, San Jose jumped on the board first on a goal by Karl Stollery. But San Diego answered with two power play goals to take a 2-1 lead into the third.

Barracuda goaltender Troy Grosenick played well despite the loss, stopping 28 shots in defeat.

San Jose drops to 9-9-2-3 while San Diego advances to 13-10-0-1.

Next up will be a matchup against the Stockton Heat at home on Sunday.
