The San Jose Barracuda triumphed in their playoff opener against the Ontario Reign, sweeping the best-of-three series. Their latest win, a 2-1 victory in Game 2, was secured by Collin Graf's late goal and solid goaltending from Yaroslav Askarov, who made crucial saves throughout the match. Barracuda coach John McCarthy praised the team's spirit and resilience, especially as they navigated the game with key players injured. The Barracuda will now face the top-seeded Colorado Eagles in the second round, a challenging matchup following a 3-5-0 record against them this season.
Askarov was great, I thought he won the game for us, said Barracuda coach John McCarthy after witnessing his goalie shine in critical moments.
It was gritty for us because we went down a couple of guys, said Collin Graf, highlighting the team's resilience amid injuries during their playoff games.
