San Jose Barracuda News Release
Bakersfield, Ca. - The San Jose Barracuda (11-18-5-0, 27 pts.) scored twice in the third period on Saturday at the Mechanics Bank Arena, but failed to dig out of a 3-0 hole, falling 3-2 to Bakersfield Condors (15-10-1-2, 33 pts.).
In the loss, Danil Gushchin became the first player on the Barracuda to reach 30 points as he notched his team-leading 13th goal of the year. Leon Gawanke also scored his eighth goal of the season and is now T-fourth among league defenders in tallies.
In the first, the Condors would jump out to 1-0 lead on their second shot of the game as Alex Peters (3) backhanded in a loose puck from above the crease at 5:44. Later in the period, on its first power play, the Condors would extend its lead as Rafael Lavoie (11) blasted a slapshot past Magnus Chrona at 14:27.
The Condors would extend their lead late in the second at 17:51 as Ben Gleason (7) ripped in a point shot past a screened Chrona.
After a late second-period penalty was called against the Condors, Gushchin (13) would get the Barracuda on the board at 1:38 of the third as he punched in a one-timer from Ethan Cardwell. At 13:38, the Barracuda would inch within a goal when Gawanke riffled a point shot past Jack Campbell to make it 3-2. Despite the Condors taking a penalty with 1:06 left, the Barracuda failed to tie the score and would fall in their fifth consecutive game.
