Barracuda @ Reign 160205

The Barracuda get back at it after the ASG, finishing their road trip with a couple of back-to-back games in Ontario.  Tonight is the Reign’s “Pink in the Rink” celebration.

To summarize the recent AHL player movement… Jevpalovs was assigned to ECHL Allen for a couple of games last weekend; now recalled.  Torres cleared waivers and has been assigned to the Barracuda (he’s looking to get back on track with this AHL stint).  Pinkston recalled from ECHL Allen.

Dell in net.  Barracuda managed 4 shots in first, one in second. A respectable number of shots in third, but the team was shut out.  0-1 loss.

Barracuda @ Rampage 160130

Right back at it.  Guessing Dell will get the start.

And after going down 0-2, the Barracuda score four straight and hang on to win 4-3.  Dell adds to his win.  Smith scored his first AHL game of the season.

Finally Sommer ties the AHL record for wins!  Congrats, coach!

Barracuda @ Rampage 160129

Next up on the five game road trip: San Antonio Rampage.

One opponent goalie may be familiar: Roman Will, who made his NHL debut on Tuesday for the Colorado Avalanche (3rd period of loss).  It wasn’t his first time in the Shark Tank, has he played 40 minutes in an AHL loss on January 9.

The Barracuda are looking to snap a five game losing streak (and FINALLY get coach Sommer that record).

Torres was recalled from his conditioning stint Thursday (and on Friday was put on waivers).  Jevpalovs was assigned to ECHL Allen.

Grosenick got the starting nod, and only let two past him.  But the Barracuda could only get one behind Roman Will.  Sixth straight loss.

Barracuda @ Stars 160127

The Barracuda hit the road for three games before the AHL ASG break. After the break, there are two more road games in Ontario before their next home game February 10.

First up: Texas Stars in Austin.  Smith and Torres in the lineup. Dell starting.

Sommer denied win #636 again.  Hard to win games, when there is almost no offensive support.

Barracuda vs Reign 160123

After the loss, both teams got on buses and drove to San Jose to go back at it again Saturday night.

With Dell starting last night, it’s likely that Grosenick gets tonight’s start.

Another game without a win.  Point streak snapped.  And Sommer still hasn’t tied game win record.

Three more games (on the road) this month, before the ASG.  Guys will be flying to Texas for games against the Stars and Rampage.

Barracuda @ Reign 160122

The Barracuda take on the Reign in back-to-back/home-and-away games:  Friday in Ontario, Saturday evening in San Jose.

Raffi has been ruled out for Friday’s game.  Ben Smith cleared waivers (Thursday) and was officially announced as assigned on Friday.

The Barracuda got out to a two-goal lead in the first, and held on until the third, with Dell making some great saves.  But some bad penalties let the Reign tie it up in the third, and win it early in OT.

Barracuda vs Condors 160118

Back from the midwest, the Barracuda are looking for an afternoon win to allow Sommer to tie the AHL record for wins.

Bakersfield Condors are on the road to play in San Jose.

Greger Hansen was released from PTO.

Too many penalties taken, not enough defense.  Sommer does not tie AHL winning record for another game.

Barracuda @ Wild 160116

After their Friday night win, the guys got on the bus for a four hour ride to Des Moines.  They’ll have a chance to sleep in and report to the arena this afternoon to face the Iowa Wild.

As Grosenick started yesterday, it’s likely that Dell will start today.

Sommer needs one win to tie the AHL all time coaching win record.

Dell kept a shutout going until the third, but the game headed to OT and the Barracuda lost to the Wild 1-2.  But their point streak continued.  Sommer is one win from tying AHL record for wins.

Barracuda @ Ice Hogs 160115

Point streak continues.  Barracuda head to the midwest for two.

Torres to make regular season debut.
