San Jose, CA - The San Jose Barracuda (39-22-2-2) exploded for four first-period goals and never looked back Friday night, defeating the Colorado Eagles (39-17-5-5), 6-3, at Tech CU Arena. With the win, the Barracuda snapped a four-game losing streak and ended Colorado's three-game winning streak.

Quentin Musty finished with a game-high four points (two goals, two assists), while Colin White (one goal, two assists), Egor Afanasyev (one goal, one assist), and Filip Bystedt (one goal, one assist) also recorded multi-point performances.

San Jose struck early as Afanasyev opened the scoring just 2:07 into the game, receiving a pass from Jimmy Huntington on a two-on-one. After Colorado answered minutes later, Musty restored the lead at 5:19, going upstairs on Kyle Keyser. The Barracuda then broke things open midway through the frame, getting a shorthanded goal from Patrick Giles at 10:29 before Bystedt buried his 20th of the season at 11:53 to make it 4-1. Colorado responded late in the period with goals from Maroš Jedlička and Ivan Ivan to cut the deficit to 4-3 after one.

Following a scoreless second period, the Barracuda pulled away in the third thanks to their power play. Musty struck again at 15:15 with the man advantage, and White added another just over a minute later to put the game out of reach.

Laurent Brossoit turned aside 26 of 29 in the win as San Jose outshot Colorado 35-29 and went 2-for-4 on the power play.

The Barracuda continue their homestand on Saturday (3 p.m.) as they host the Colorado Eagles for Military Appreciation Night in the final meeting of the four-game season series. For tickets, visit SJBarracuda.com.
