"The San Jose Barracuda didn't just beat the Ontario Reign on Saturday night, the team outlasted them, survived them, and then stole the game back in a wild third-period swing at Tech CU Arena, closing out a gritty 4-3 win on Mean Girls night. First period The puck hit the ice at 6:06 pm at the Tech CU Arena, and just in the first two minutes, Pavol Regenda was in the box for roughing, giving Ontario its first power play. The rivalry will never die."
"13:52 left on the clock. No time wasted. Lucas Carlsson, with the assists from Kasper Haltunen and Regenda, the 'Cuda were on the board. That makes three goals in the last three games for Carlsson. Anthony Vincent was stirring the pot a little and almost going at it (physically) with Reign players. Other than that, the period was very even with both teams pushing and pulling."
"The 'Cuda struggled. They spent most of the power play in their own zone and couldn't handle the puck. Good thing for San Jose, Ontario got two more for tripping, and the 'Cuda were on their second power play of the night. Kasper Halttunen was not very happy being pushed to the floor, missed a clean shot, and at the end of the day did not produce anything from the one-man advantage. The 'Cuda still appeared less connected on their second power play."
San Jose Barracuda defeated the Ontario Reign 4-3 at Tech CU Arena after a tense, physical game marked by penalties and momentum swings. Early roughing and power-play opportunities set a chippy tone. Lucas Carlsson opened the scoring and extended a personal goal streak, while Filip Bystedt added a second goal to push San Jose ahead. The Barracuda struggled on power plays, spending time defending instead of controlling the puck. Kasper Halttunen was knocked to the floor and failed to convert a man advantage. The second period intensified with heavy hitting and broken sticks before the decisive third-period turn.
