LOVELAND, CO. - Colorado forward Taylor Makar netted a pair of goals, while goaltender Trent Miner made 21 saves on 23 shots, as the Eagles defeated the San Jose Barracuda 4-2 on Friday. San Jose defenseman Lucas Carlsson struck twice on the power play in the losing effort. The victory also snapped the Barracuda's 11-game points streak and five-game winning streak. Gabriel Carriere suffered the loss in net, allowing four goals on 26 shots.

Makar would net the game's first goal when he raced through the left-wing circle before slicing to the crease and roofing it home, putting Colorado on top 1-0 at the 5:24 mark of the first period.

With the two teams playing 4-on-4, Makar would strike for a second time, as he fielded a pass in the slot and snapped it past Carriere, extending the Eagles advantage to 2-0 with 6:25 remaining in the opening 20 minutes.

A Barracuda power play late in the period would set up Carlsson to light the lamp with a wrister from the slot, slicing the deficit to 2-1 at the 19:19 mark. Each team would generate nine shots in the first frame, as Colorado headed to the intermission still leading, 2-1.

The Eagles would turn the tables on a San Jose power play when forward Tye Felhaber tucked home a shot from the top of the crease, pushing Colorado's advantage to 3-1 at the 8:39 mark of the second period.

With the Barracuda still on that same man-advantage, Carlsson answered back with a wrist shot from the top of the left-wing circle that would beat Miner and cut the Eagles lead to 3-2 with 10:48 left to play in the middle frame.

Needing a little insurance, Colorado would receive some when defenseman Jack Ahcan fired the puck from the right-wing boards to the slot, sending it off a San Jose defender and past Carriere. The goal was Ahcan's second tally of the season and put the Eagles up 4-2 at the 2:28 mark of the third period.

Colorado finished the night going 0-for-6 on the power play, while the Barracuda connected on two of its eight chances on the man-advantage.
