The Barracuda took on the Silver Knights for the third night in a row and suffered an overtime loss at home 4-3.

Getting the start in goal for San Jose was Georgi Romanov while Henderson had Jesper Vikman get the start.

It was a quick start for the Cuda offense as just 3:23 in Danil Gushchin scored his first goal of the season. Both Justin Bailey and Leon Gawanke got assists on the play.

The response from Henderson took some time but was decisive as Brendan Brisson scored his third on the campaign tying the game back up.

Before the first came to a close, San Jose found a way to break the tie as Ozzy Wiesblatt scored his first of the season, making it 2-1. Radim Simek and Cole Cassels got the assists.

The first San Jose lead in shots 19-10.

In the second there would be a total of five penalties combined but neither team gave up a power play goal.

Instead late in the second Bailey found the back of the net with less than one minute remaining making it 3-1. Gushchin and Gawanke both picked up assists.

At the end of the second, the shots favored Henderson 29-27.

Quickly the Silver Knights opened up the scoring as just 32 seconds in Jakub Demek scored his first of the season making it 3-2.

Then on a 5-on-3 Henderson tied the game at three as Byron Froese shocked the home crowd with his third goal of the season.

The score would remain that way meaning overtime was on the way.

In overtime, it did not take long to find the winner as just 59 seconds in Froese got his second of the night sending fans packing for the exit.

The shots ended tied at 41-41. Both team’s powerplays were not particularly effective as Henderson went 1/5 and San Jose went 0/2.

This game caps off a stretch where the Barracuda played the Silver Knights thrice and lost all three games.

The three stars of the game were: 1st: Byron Froese 2nd: Danil Gushchin 3rd: Jesper Vikman

San Jose will look to bounce back on Saturday when they take on the Firebirds at home at 6 p.m.
