Friday, Feb. 3: San Jose 4 at Manitoba 1
In a fast paced matchup San Jose opened the scoring midway through the first before Quinton Howden tied things up under a minute later. Special teams proved to be the difference as the Barracuda scored three unanswered, all on the powerplay, to capture a 4-1 victory.
Saturday, Feb. 4: San Jose 5 at Manitoba 4
The Moose looked to be in store for a long night, falling behind 4-1 in the second period before the team started a comeback late in the third. Kyle Connor scored goals at the 10:43 and 15:10 marks to pull Manitoba within one. Marcus Sorensen looked to have iced the game with two minutes left when he scored into an empty net, but Quinton Howden struck 11 seconds later to make it a one goal match again. The Moose couldn't complete the comeback bid, falling 5-4.
at Grand Rapids Griffins, Wednesday, Feb. 8 (6 p.m. CT)

Tune in to all the action at moosehockey.com/listenlive and TSN 1290 (Feb. 8/12).
