The San Jose Barracuda faced a tough defeat against the Colorado Eagles in the opening game of their playoff series, ending with a score of 6-3. Trailing by three goals, they managed to narrow the gap with late goals from Collin Graf and Colin White, but ultimately fell short as the Eagles secured empty net goals. Coach John McCarthy reflected that the game was evenly played, while forward Patrick Giles emphasized the importance of maintaining their game for future matches. This series marks the Barracuda's first home playoff game since 2019.
The Barracuda, the Sharks' top minor league affiliate, allowed an even-strength goal to Calle Rosen in the first period and power-play goals to Chris Wagner and Jayson Megna in the second.
Overall, I thought it was a pretty evenly played game, Barracuda coach John McCarthy said.
We were saying, regardless of the score, we are going to play our game and carry that into game two,
