The San Jose Barracuda wrapped up a six-game road trip with a 3-1 loss to the Bakersfield Condors on Tuesday night as starting goaltender Troy Gosenick departed in the first period with an injury.

Grosenick sustained midway through the first period when he apparently hurt his right leg following a scramble. He was helped off the ice putting no weight on the leg.

All three Condors goal came after backup Mantas Armalis replaced Gosenick in net. Bakersfield struck early in the second — just 27 seconds in — courtesy of Taylor Beck, who skated end-to-end and deposited a wrist shot from the right side into the net.

Four minutes later, Adam Helewka provided an equalizer for the Barracuda, knocking the puck in off a scramble in front.

But the deadlock only lasted until 13:22 of the third period. On a 2-on-1 break, the Condors’ Josh Currie found pay dirt, beating Armalis glove side for the eventual game-winner.

Ryan Hamilton added an empty-net goal to give the Condors a two-goal win.

The Barracuda managed 38 shots on the net against Condors goaltender Laurent Brossoit, but he managed to stop all by one. Armalis, meanwhile, allowed two goals on 20 shots faced. San Jose also went o-for-4 on the power play in the loss.

San Jose finishes its six-game road trip with a 2-3-0-1 record. Next up will be another tilt with Bakersfield, this one at SAP Center on Friday at 6 p.m.
