San Jose Barracuda News Release
San Jose, CA - The San Jose Barracuda (39-27-2-2) fell 4-1 to the Coachella Valley Firebirds (40-24-6-0) at Tech CU Arena on Tuesday night. With the loss, the Barracuda have now dropped five straight games and nine of their last ten.
Coachella Valley jumped out to a quick lead in the opening period, scoring twice in a span of 51 seconds. Logan Morrison (28) opened the scoring at 5:21, and John Hayden (13) followed at 6:12 to give the Firebirds a 2-0 advantage heading into the intermission.
After a scoreless second period in which San Jose outshot Coachella Valley 14-9, the Barracuda broke through early in the third. Quentin Musty (20) capitalized on a five-on-three power play at 3:10, finishing a feed from Filip Bystedt to cut the deficit to one. However, the Firebirds responded late in the frame as Cooper Marody (11, 12) restored the two-goal cushion at 12:33 before adding his second of the night at 14:48 to put the game out of reach.
The Barracuda outshot the Firebirds 35-31, but Logan Terness turned aside 34 shots to earn his first AHL win. Laurent Brossoit made 27 saves on 31 shots in the loss. San Jose went 1-for-3 on the power play, while Coachella Valley was held scoreless on two opportunities.
The Barracuda return to action on Friday in Bakersfield before hosting the Condors on Saturday at 7 p.m. in the team's regular-season finale. Saturday is Fan Appreciation Night, featuring a team photo giveaway (first 1,000 fans) and a Barracuda sock giveaway (first 1,500 fans). For tickets, visit sjbarracuda.com.
