San Jose Barracuda podcast Marko Ukalovic:

#1 How did Oliver Wahlstrom’s two-goal performance (including his clutch effort in OT) elevate the Barracuda’s resilience and change the tide of the game?

#2 What role did Filip Bystedt’s goal play in shifting momentum for San Jose, and how did he find space against Abbotsford’s defense?

#3 Igor Chernyshov scored the go-ahead goal — how significant was his finish, and what preparation or positioning allowed him to capitalize on that rebound?

#4 In what ways did Pavol Regenda contribute beyond scoring (for example, on the power play or in transition), and how did that factor into the Barracuda’s late-game strategy?

#5 Which Barracuda player stepped up defensively—or on the boards—in the final minutes to help preserve the lead before and during the overtime period?

San Jose Barracuda podcast with Marko Ukalovic:

#1 The San Jose Barracuda scored three goals in the third period to take control of a close game as they defeated the Henderson Silver Knights 5-3 took on Friday morning at Lee’s Family Forum.

#2 San Jose has won a season best four games in a row, including five of their first six games and swept its second straight series,

#3 Henderson has lost four games in a row and five of their first six to start their season. Their a struggling group are the Silver Knights a worthy opponent and Barracuda took care of business or were the Knights easy pickings for the Barracuda?

#4 How much of a factor has goaltender Yaroslav Askarov been in the recent success for the Barracuda in preventing goals against and do you see Askarov not long for joining the struggling San Jose Sharks and helping them out in net at the NHL level at some point?

#5 The Barracuda face off against the Coachella Valley Firebirds Wednesday night Oct 30th in San Jose. The Firebirds have always been a thorn in the Barraducda’s side. This year’s Barracuda have been getting some solid defense and had strong games against the Iowa Wild and most recently against the Knights. Will this match up be much different than past Barracuda and Firebird match ups?

San Jose Barracuda podcast with Marko Ukalovic: Barracuda can’t hold onto lead with second period meltdown at SAP Center

The San Jose Barracuda Joachim Blichfeld (86) scored his 50th career AHL goal in the first period against the Colorado Eagles at SAP Center in San Jose on Sat Mar 26, 2022 (photo from wikipedia.com)

On San Jose Barracuda podcast with Marko:

#1 Marko if you light the lamp the San Jose Barracuda lit it up in the first period with goals by Joachim Blichfeld, Evan Weinger, Adam Raska, and Antonine Morand only Jayson Megna the long goal for the Colorado Eagles. Blichfeld’s goal was his 50th AHL career goal.

#2 That first period was what many can recall as one of their best starts of a game in a long while at the first period intermission the Cuda had a 4-1 lead.

#3 The Eagles wasted no time beginning the second period scoring at 36 seconds by Callahan Burke, Mikhail Maltsev was the key goal scorer for the Eagles in the second period scoring at 2:51 to make it 4-3 later with the score Barracuda 5 and Eagles 4 Maltsev tied it up scoring a full strength goal at 9:39 making it 5-5. The Eagles closed the period off to regain the lead with a goal by Jacob McDonald at 19:50 on the power play to take the lead at the intermission 6-5.

#4 Like we talked about just before the third period that the goal scoring settled down between both teams taking shots on net talk about the defense from both the Eagles and Barracuda in the third period. The Eagles added an empty net goal by Kiefer Sherwood to finish up with a 7-5 win at SAP Center tonight.

#5 Tough finish for the Barracuda who opened the game up with that 4-1 lead and finish losing by two goals 7-5 and couldn’t get on the board to come back and tie this one up in the third period. It just seemed like they petered out after that four goal first period.

#6 Little eye opener towards the end of the contest when the Barracuda’s Montana Onyebuchi and the Eagles Stefan Matteau tangled for fighting penalties.
