San Jose Barracuda podcast Marko Ukalovic:

1. Can Filip Bystedt lead the Barracuda offense against San Diego? After establishing himself as one of San Jose’s top offensive threats, can Bystedt provide the scoring punch needed to take two points on the road?

3. Can Ethan Cardwell and Cam Lund provide secondary scoring? Will these young forwards generate enough offense to take pressure off San Jose’s top line and challenge the Gulls’ defense?

4. Will Luca Cagnoni make a difference from the blue line? Can Cagnoni use his skating, puck movement and offensive instincts to create scoring opportunities and help San Jose’s power play?

5. Which goaltender will give San Jose the edge? Can Eric Comrie or Ilya Samsonov deliver a strong performance against San Diego’s attack and help the Barracuda earn a crucial road victory?
