San Jose Barracuda/AHL Playoffs podcast Marko Ukalovic:

#1 The San Jose Barracuda took the Ontario Reign 2-1 in game two of the first round of the AHL Calder Cup at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Saturday. The game was played at Crypto in place of the Toyota Center in Ontario due to a previous scheduled event.

#2 The Barracuda were at a disadvantage going into the series with no games going back to San Jose due to all games would be played in the Southland either in Los Angeles or Ontario. It didn’t stop the Barracuda who won games one and two to advance to the second round. They were the home team in game 2 with the game being played in Los Angeles.

#3 The Barracuda will play the second round against the Colorado Eagles in the Division Semifinals. The dates are yet to be determined. The Barracuda will have home ice advantage.

#4 San Jose Barracuda head coach said John McCarthy that he’s happy for his players advancing to the next round saying, “I’m happy for our group, that’s a lively locker room in there, they should be really proud of themselves.”

#5 Marko talk about all the hard work that went into getting this far for the Barracuda also considering in the minor league hockey teams could lose key guys as they get promoted all the time and it’s hard to advance if you lose a goaltender with a hot hand or a goal scorer.

A day after clinching their spot in the Calder Cup playoffs, the San Jose Barracuda lost 4-0 to the Ontario Reign on Saturday. Martin Chromiak, Riley Walsh and Taylor Ward scored for the Reign. 18 year old Carter George made 33 saves for the win in his professional debut. Yaroslav Askarov made 24 saves in the loss. The loss makes home ice in the playoffs less likely for the Barracuda.

Ontario jumped to an early lead with a goal at 1:50 of the first period. Martin Chromiak’s shot from the point made its way through traffic into the net. Assists went to Joseph Cecconi and Reilly Walsh.

Reilly Walsh scored right off an offensive zone faceoff win, giving the Reign a 2-0 lead. An assist went to Kaleb Lawrence.

The shot count was very close in the first, 10-9 Barracuda. San Jose finished the first period on a power play with 1:26 left on that to start the second period. The Barracuda did not score on that power play or the five-on-three that they had at the end of the period.

They did give up one goal during four-on-four play that ate up the final seconds of a late Barracuda power play.

Riley Walsh got a shot off from high in the slot after Jack Studnicka set him up with a pass from below the goal line. An assist also went to Andre Lee.

The Reign made it 4-0 midway through the third period on a power play. Charles Hudon passed the puck across the ice to Taylor Ward for a shot that got by Askarov before he could get across. Assists went to Hudon and Martin Chromiak.

Pavol Regenda led the Barracuda in shots with 4. Jake Furlong, Jimmy Shuldt, Ethan Cardwell and Filip Bystedt each had three shots.

The Barracuda next play on Friday in Calgary against the Wranglers at 2:00 PM PDT.
