On the Barracuda podcast with Marko:

#1 San Jose Barracuda (27-11-2-4) head coach Roy Sommer has to be relieved after the team snapped a three-game losing streak to the Tucson Roadrunners (24-15-4-2) last Tuesday night at the SAP Center.

#2 It was narrow though the game was tied and the Roadrunners are one of the best teams in the league, but the Cuda got the one shootout goal that got them back in the win column when Francis Perron scored the winner for the 2-1 victory.

#3 After two periods and the score tied 1-1, the Barracuda were doing everything they could to get in the back end of the net. After two periods, they led the Roadrunners out shooting the Roadrunners 28-13.

#4 One thing for sure neither team didn’t want to lose this one. It was tied after regulation. No one scored in the overtime stanza and they went three rounds to get the verdict in the Cuda win.

#5 The Barracuda and San Diego Gulls (26-15-2-3) open up a two-game series, starting Saturday night at SAP Center. The Gulls are no easy customer either and this series should be a battle in of itself.
