San Jose Barracuda podcast Madison Montez:

#1 How did San Jose respond defensively after giving up early goals, and could players like Filip Bystedt or Igor Chernyshov have done more to stem Henderson’s momentum?

#2 What adjustments might forward Donavan Houle have made in the third period that helped the Barracuda’s late goal despite the team trailing for most of the game?

#3 Did Barracuda defenseman Mattias Havelid play a key role in generating offensive chances, and how effective was he in transitioning play against Henderson’s pressure?

#4 What contributions did Quentin Musty or Oliver Wahlstrom provide in terms of forechecking or creating scoring opportunities, even though they didn’t record points?

#5 How did the goaltending performances from Gabriel Carriere (or Jakub Skarek) impact the outcome, and what could they have done differently to contain Henderson’s early scoring?
