Barracuda vs Stars 160103

Another back-to-back, this time with travel for the both teams, but Texas is only coming from Stockton.  It’s the last game of the day on the AHL sched.

Sharks have recalled Troy Grosenick and assigned Al Stalock (conditioning) and Chris Tierney to the Barracuda.  Mark Cundari is also back from the Spengler Cup.  (Reinforcements)  Could be a major shot in the arm to receive these players.  (So, I’ll expect Stalock to get the start today.)

Barracuda want to get a home win streak going. (And the Stars would like to redeem their weekend with a split.)

With Grosenick starting on Saturday, guessing that Dell will start on Sunday.

Improvement over past losses: team did not collapse when giving up first goal(s), they did not get shut out, they kept working.

But a few bad penalties, missed opportunities (including the PP and penalty shot opportunities) pushed the team to under 0.500 again.  Currently ranked 6th (of 7) in division.

Team has the day off Monday before heading back to the ice on Tuesday to prep for Friday’s home game against Stockton.

Home again. Second double header of the season on Saturday.

Team is traveling on Thanksgiving, and should practice Friday before hosting the Texas Stars on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Texas is the AHL affiliate of the NHL Dallas Stars.

Two wins this weekend, and the Barracuda would be in a playoff position.

Crane assigned to ECHL Allen.  Gallant out injured.

Update: DeMelo recalled
