SAN JOSE — Quentin Musty scored two goals for the San Jose Barracuda as they defeated the Colorado Eagles 6-3 on Friday evening at Tech CU Arena.

San Jose snapped its four-game losing streak. Colorado had its three-game winning streak snapped.

San Jose (39-22-2-2-82 points) drew first blood early in the first period with an odd man rush. Jimmy Huntington led a two-on-one counterattack inside Colorado’s zone. Huntington sent a cross-ice pass over to Egor Afanasyev who blasted a one-timer past Eagles goalie Kyle Keyser for his 14th goal at the 2:07 mark.

Colorado (39-17-5-5-88 points) answered just over two minutes later back when Tristan Neilsen ripped a wrist shot over the shoulder of Cuda goalie Laurent Brossoit for his career best 25th goal of the season at the 4:11 mark. Gavin Bradley and Jacob MacDonald received assists on the play.

It didn’t take long for the Barracuda to regain the lead. Afanasyev returned the favor when he setup Musty who snapped home a wrist that beat Keyser to the glove side for his 18th goal of the season 52 seconds later. Noah Beck received the secondary assist.

Patrick Giles gave San Jose a 3-1 lead with a short-handed goal just past the halfway mark of the opening frame when he chased down a long pass from Jake Boltmann that caromed off the boards. Giles skates in all alone before beating Keyser with a point-blank shot for his ninth goal of the season at the 10:29 mark.

Filip Bystedt make a great individual move to give the Cuda its third unanswered goal of the period. Colin White fed Bystedt the puck in the slot. Bystedt fought around a Colorado defender for a backhander that was saved by Keyser. Bystedt followed up his own rebound diving to the ice to put the puck in the back of the net for his 20th goal of the season at the 11:53 mark.

The Eagles stopped the bleeding with its second goal of the opening 20 minutes. Matt DiMarsico’s slapshot was initially stopped by Brossoit but Maroš Jedlička poked home the rebound from inside the crease for his fifth goal of the season at the 15:03 mark.

Colorado made it a one-goal deficit when Ivan Ivan finished off a nice give and go down low from Nielsen for his 10th goal of the season with 1:38 left in a wild first period.

A surprisingly scoreless second period featured both goaltenders rebounding with steady play between the pipes. San Jose out shot Colorado 10-6 in the middle frame.

Musty scored his second goal of the game late in the third period while San Jose was on a four-minute power play when Alex Barre-Boulet went to the sin bin for a double minor for high sticking. White sent a back door pass down to Musty who tapped the puck into an open net for his 19th goal of the season at the 15:15 mark.

Musty finished with a career high four-point game with two goals and two assists.

Then White scored the team’s second power play goal of the game 55 seconds later. White centered a puck through the crease that deflected off of Sean Behrens and went underneath Keyser for his 17th goal of the season.

Brossoit (15-7-1) finished with 26 saves on 29 shots to earn his 15th win of the season. Keyser (9-4-1) made 29 saves on 35 shots in the losing effort
