It was a happy mood all-around at SAP Center on Saturday as the San Jose Barracuda followed up a San Jose Sharks win with a victory of their own — a 3-2 overtime defeat over the Iowa Wild.

Jeremy Morin recorded the game-winning goal in overtime on a shot from the right point to give the Barracuda the win.

The Barracuda jumped ahead 2-0 in the first period on goals by Trevor Parkes and Ryan Carpenter. Parkes scored just two minutes into the game, putting home a rebound. Carpenter finished off a nice find by Mirco Mueller on a power play.

But Iowa responded with two goals in the second. Brett Bulmer and Christoph Bertschy scored less than three minutes apart midway through the period to even the score 2-2 heading into the third.

The final stanza was scoreless, but the Barracuda managed to come out on top thanks to a clutch goal in overtime.

San Jose was able to hold Iowa to no goals on three power play opportunities. Goaltender Aaron Dell made 29 saves and the Barracuda outshot the Wild 33-31.

The Barracuda continue their season-long six-game home stand on Saturday against the San Diego Gulls.
