San Jose Barracuda News Release
Des Moines, IA - The San Jose Barracuda (6-3-0-0) suffered consecutive losses for the first time this season, falling 5-2 to the Iowa Wild (3-6-1-0) on Sunday afternoon at the Wells Fargo Arena. In the loss, Andrew Poturalski scored twice and now leads the team with five goals. Collin Graf also collected a pair of helpers and now has points (3+9=12) in eight of his first nine games in the AHL.
For the second consecutive game, the Barracuda spotted the Wild a 2-0 lead in the first period after Liam Ohgren (1) and David Spacek (4) notched goals at 13:19 and 18:18 respectively.
In the second, Michael Milne (4) beat Georgi Romanov at 5:13 to give the Wild a 3-0 lead. In the final minute of the period, Poturalski (4) finally stopped the bleeding as he potted his fourth goal in his last five games on the power play, going top-shelf, short-side from the left dot at 19:13.
In the third, down by a pair, the Barracuda inched back within a goal at 8:32 as Poturalski (5) received a pass in the slot and worked around Dylan Ferguson with a backhand-to-forehand move. Five minutes later the Wild would push their lead back to two as Hunter Haight (1) potted an unassisted goal at 13:18. Veteran Devin Shore (1) would then put the game out of reach with 4:10 left as he collected his first goal of the year to make it 5-2.
Romanov (1-1-0-0) suffered the loss, allowing five goals on 31 shots. Ferguson (1-0-0-0) faced 24 shots, picking up the victory in his season debut.
